Flat Earth
By chance I came across the International Flat Earth Society on the internet and was intrigued by their idea that the Earth is flat. After reading some of their conjectures, I became intensely interested in how people have come to know the shape of the Earth, so I researched the development of human knowledge of the shape of the Earth from ancient times to recent times, hoping to draw some inspiration from this research and make some jewellery and objects.Humanity has constantly challenged the authority of the shape of the Earth, and when everyone thinks that a certain conjecture is the truth, there is always When everyone thinks a conjecture is the truth, someone is always bold enough to make a new conjecture and argue for it. It is the constant speculation, argumentation and disproval of theories that have driven the development of human civilisation. I am not doing this project to support the hypothesis of the Earth's horizon, but to support this kind of people who are good at discovering the other side of things and who are brave enough to raise questions.
