Nobody

This image shows a blackout poetry piece made from a page of T.S. Eliot's verse drama, "The Cocktail Party". The majority of the page's text has been scribbled over with black marker, with select words and phrases left uncovered to form a new poetic message. Two images have been collaged onto the page. One is a woman's eye with the iris cut out, and it is pasted to frame the word "mystery". The other image is of the sun, and frames the words "All there is of you is your body / replenish / ing". The two quotations at the end of the blackout poem also seem to be pasted cutouts from different texts.

It’s so… unfinished.
mystery.

You’re suddenly
happening,

with a jolt.

All there is of you is your body
