HIC SVNT DRACONES

It is said that in ancient maps cartographers would use the inscription, HIC SVNT DRACONES, to mark unexplored territories at the edge of the known world. A warning to the explorers about those dark places on Earth, where dragons, sea serpents and other mythical creatures were believed to live.

Though there are only two known uses of this inscription in ancient maps, the whole concept always had my imagination running wild. To me, it feels akin to what a creative mind is: uncharted, mysterious and free of boundaries. Like a child staring at the sea under the stars.

Welcome to my Imaginarium.
