ESCHATON
Speculative Design · Afrofuturist Cartography · Worldbuilding · Visual Identity
Eschaton explores how speculative cartography can function as a tool of Afrofuturist storytelling, using the design of an imagined planetary map regional flags, organizational insignia, and narrative lore to visualize diaspora, survival, and the creation of new futures beyond Earth. By rendering the geography of an invented planet, Eschaton asks what it means to name, claim, and inhabit space on one's own terms.
I created this series of designs as part of my Senior thesis at MICA. The titular planet, Eschaton, is a desert world covered in black sands, a distant green star always just above the horizon. There are countless cities across Eschaton, each clustered around a more populous megacity, each shielded from the elements by massive Envirohazard shields.
A complete planetary identity system encompassing political geography, regional governance, organizational insignia, and narrative lore rendered through map design, flag systems, and world documentation. This project uses fictional world-building to explore how marginalized communities might imagine and reclaim their own futures beyond Earth.
