'In terms of craft my inspiration was the graphic artist Stefan Sagmeister, especially his own book cover where he used red acetate to present different images and stories in different layers.
Above one is the closed version of the triptych, it looks like a book with transparent paper on it. You cannot see anything inside it, red and green on top of each other created a hard cover.
The right picture presents the inner page of the book where it contains a lot of sentences but because of the visual presentation, colors and the stripes the 2 stories were not legible.
When we put green acetate we can easily read the narrative hidden under the ribcage. You see an artichoke silhouette hanged at the same place as human heart. The ribcage protects our heart from outside world. Neruda’s poem describes artichokes leaves as soldiers who were also protecting the heart of the artichoke
When we put the red acetate on top of the mixed image we can easily read what was written inside the artichoke’s heart. The ribcage story is now legible as a silhouette, you cannot read the actual narrative.
I am really happy about the outcome after all. It was not easy to find the right tone of the colors in order to make the second text disappear but after about 20 different printouts I got the most nearest solution i could get.'
