This series is based on the many instances of searching for new lands in Thisworld and the Otherworld that can be found in history and mythology. In these stories, the island functions as both a promise of a mysterious utopia and as an unknown to be brought forth into the known by the process of exploration.
In our current climate, islands are also endangered by rising sea levels. If we lose more and more literal islands, what will happen to the mythological and metaphorical islands in our collective memories and imaginations?
