This project was an experiment in translating images into language, then creating a system in which that language can mix together to form unexpected results. I began by writing a concrete, seemingly prose poem-like descriptions of each image, which were justified in order to activate the spread of the book. Then the pages were cut in half. As the reader moves through the pages, they can mix and match different spreads. In this way, an exponential number of original images are created from the initial few.
