Puposeful Wanderings in Pyongyang

While North Korea begins the year with lots of bellicose bluster here is Artist/cartographer Gareth Fuller's take on Pyongyang, the capital.

The artist, who likes to go by just "FULLER" usually begins his work with a very thorough exploration of the places he maps. His "Purposeful Wanderings" is a series of kaleidoscopic maps of the places he has spent time. However in North Korea he was constrained to the government's rules and encouraged to marvel at their socialist wonderland. Here is the Party Foundation Monument,

the Ryugyong Hotel, a signature building of the city,

and their shuttlecock-like ice arena-kind of a sports mismatch.
