MYSTERY

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page of a T.S. Eliot poetry collection. The background is predominantly drawn over in black, blue, and yellow marker. Black-and-white images are also cut up and pasted around the poem. Select words and phrases are left untouched, forming a new poetic message against the illustrated and collaged background.
