A Blackout poetry project composed on a page of text, with most of the words obscured by black marker. The remaining visible words form a new poem. The page is adorned with blue patterned fabric pieces and an illustration of a man in vintage clothing standing on the bottom left, near a collage of flowers and a rosette.
