Maps Camouflaged as Meat

Mimetic Maps is a series of illustrations which visualizes unexpected similarities between meats and maps by using the typical Japanese method called "MITATE". 
The objective of this work is to suggest a new perspective on the world map. For example, the actual map of Finland would mimic to be one cut of sirloin steak.

1. Maps camouflaged as meat

The interesting thing about this work is how it presents a new perspective when it has been colored in red. 
Salted areas which are the lakes and rivers do really exist in the world.

Finland sirloin steak

Finland Sirloin Steak, one of main feature of the book, looks just like a raw sirloin steak. 
However, its shape is a trace of Finland mapdata (c) OpenStreetMaps CC 2.0 CC-BY-SA. 
I’ve made lakes and rivers in Finland to look as though they’ve been covered in salt.

An Finland Shabu-shabu 

Using Finland’s map, I’ve also made representation of Shabu-shabu*. 
In Japanese supermarkets, you will see meat being sold like below.
*Shabu-shabu is a Japanese dish where you dip slices of meats and vegetables into a pot with boiling hot water.
