bound by affection

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. The original text is predominantly painted over in white, with various images drawn and collaged over the margins and the obscured parts of the text. Select words and phrases have been left uncovered, creating a new poetic message against the white background.
