This allegorical map on success was created in response to an allegorical map on the music industry that was created in 1913 for the Etude publication. In creating this drawing, I tried to think about all the paths of success including what we socially deem as unsuccessful while also exploring existential ideas of success that are depicted in the mountain of maturity that sits behind the mountain of success. In this map, I crowd sourced locations that were relevant to people and added their ideas to the map as well.
