Description:
This artwork explores the trend of language becoming more symbolic and repetitive. Featuring a custom typeface system, the centerpiece is a book design of the first 18 poems in Shakespeare’s Sonnets (widely regarded as a representation of linguistic diversity), which visually reflects the fluidity between “the message” and “the metaphor.”
