Party

The image shows a page from a book that has been transformed into a blackout poetry artwork. Colorful strips of paint and marker cover most of the text, leaving select words and phrases visible to create a new poetic composition. The page is decorated with bright splotches, dots, and abstract designs in various colors. Green leaf-like designs frame the bottom corners of the page. The overall effect is a vibrant, visually striking piece of found poetry.
