In this intricate rendering, the traditional map is reimagined as a stage for the Venetian Carnival. Goggin utilizes the vertical portrait format to emphasize the narrow, rising architecture of the city, allowing the viewer to navigate through a rich tapestry of waterways and hidden squares. The piece balances the precision of cartography with the fluid, expressive marks that suggest the movement of masked revelers and the shimmer of the lagoon.

By focusing on the intersection of place and performance, the work invites a slow exploration of detail. The composition avoids the static nature of a standard guide, instead favoring a sense of discovery where every corner of the frame holds a new visual secret. It is a study of how a physical location becomes inseparable from the cultural myths and seasonal rituals that inhabit it.
