Everything is Ending is an art project that sets fire to the world to prove a point. No, the world itself is not actually on fire and no there isn't any arson taking place, but this detailed map uses symbolism to convey the same message.
The map for Everything is Ending is made up of hundreds of match sticks arranged into a map of the world. The map features the words "Everything is Ending" whipping right through the middle and when one is lit the entire project goes up in flame. Created to signify an apocalypse, Everything is Ending is the epitome of destructive art. This one time only piece took a long time to make, but was gone in an instant.
