SEVEN

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created form a T.S. Eliot poem. The background is mostly drawn over in sheer multicolored marker, making it so that the original poem is entirely legible. However, a select few words are left completely uncovered in order to stand out against the drawn-over background, forming a new poetic message.
