This delightfully playful 3D mapped projection explores the ties that bind us – the people, the places, the stories of Sydney – in a celebration of the city’s soul.

The world is becoming increasingly divided. Technology enables us to be more connected than ever, yet loneliness – even in population-dense areas such as Sydney – is at an all-time high.

Here, director Bim Ricketson and world-class illustrator James Gulliver Hancock ask how we can better understand and connect with the people in our own 'backyard' to foster a greater sense of community.
