For a while now I've been captivated by the simple magic of a palindrome - a word that reads the same way backwards and forward. Why? Not sure, it's just one of those mysterious and yet awfully logical linguistic attribute. Like a spell. Or a formula. Or an alien code. Or a simple coincidence that carries meaning.Well, I have been looking at ways of bringing palindromes to a new level - a visual one, using imagery to turn a verbal puzzle into a visual one. The key here was to not make it too straightforward like clipart icons that one might see in a kid's book. Instead, I created non-symmetrical compositions with keys illustrated in an imprecise way, making it less of a technical clue and more of an artistic guide to solving the palindrome mystery.14.1cm x 19cm, watercolor on lightly tinted 300gsm paper.
