The map
Kahandhale lies in the Somali Region of eastern Ethiopia, a large area of dry lowland where settlements are spread widely apart. On a map, a place like this appears as a compact cluster of streets and tracks set within a vast, mostly empty landscape. The simplicity is part of its character, and it makes for a strong, graphic composition.
In the arid lowlands, routes between settlements are often long and direct, and seasonal watercourses can appear as faint lines crossing the plain. The built area is small and closely gathered, so every line on the map carries weight, and the empty space around it shows the scale of the land.
A Kahandhale map poster captures this in minimal form: a small settlement, the tracks that lead out of it and the open ground on every side. It is a personal piece for people from the region, including those who now live far from it and want to keep home in sight.
The town forms a small, closely gathered cluster of streets, the densest point on a map that is otherwise mostly open.
Roads and tracks lead away across the plain toward other settlements, running long and fairly direct over the flat terrain.
The wide dry landscape around the town appears as generous empty space, giving the poster a spare, balanced composition.
