As this thesis is exploring ‘void’ as an object, a lesson in the fundamentals of ‘figure and ground’ is necessary to distinguish or consider the contradiction of empty space as a physical object. The Gestalt notion of the figure-ground phenomenon refers to the characteristic organisation of perception into a figure that “stands out” against a neutral background.

The primary purpose of the Mercator map was, and still is, for navigation, and it is incredibly well- suited for this purpose as the map allows for the drawing of straight lines on the map to represent lines of constant bearing on Earth3. The distortion of the continents is a byproduct of the methods used to create the effects necessary for the Mercator map to fulfill its function, and according to me, the

describing details you actually find yourself being a part of the story. The description of the setting and the people indicates that the story takes place in Portugal because the inhabitants speak Portuguese.

catches of the Silky and Dusty shark declined by 91% and 79% respectively (142). Thus, this decline historically reflects on the level of humanity’s exploitation, for instance, the disappearance of the Whitetip in the Gulf of Mexico. Effectively, the near disappearance of the species underlines an ecological shift on the pelagic baseline.
