Description
This school project brief entailed the creation of a new passport for any world country of our choice. After a lot of research, I selected the South American nation of Chile, a fascinating nation that captured my attention due to its combination of vast natural beauty and progressive people.
One of the most unique things that I discovered about Chile was its wide range of biomes held within its borders. The northern Atacama desert features the driest location in the world, while the southern tip is characterized by massive glaciers and arctic ice. This internal contrast intrigued me, and I knew that I wanted this passport to represent that progression.
Utilizing the national colors of the country, the passport pages begin red and display images of the hot biomes in the northern regions.
The middle of the passport features more of a purple hue, representing the temperate regions of central Chile.
The last pages are blue, representing the cold, subarctic climate of the south. All together, these elements are united by the Guñelve, an indigenous symbol that has grown into prominence as a representative emblem for all of its citizens.
