render them

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on page 186 of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. The original text is predominantly drawn over with fuchsia marker, and images of the Eiffel Tower have been collaged across the obscured parts of the text. Select words and phrases have been left visible and circled, creating a new poetic message.
