Paper & glue on repurposed book cover
 
Strips of paper on four images molded together on comics on a book cover.
 
The black and white images that make up a stereo started the idea. Then I wanted to find a way to both display and mask the object. Some of the strips of paper are meant to feel like sound waves.
 
I love the mashing up of two popular worlds. I think if you liked one, you most likely enjoyed the other, but maybe not. I enjoyed playing with the idea of hunting the spongebobs and pokemon alike. The eyes of the cut outs aided this feeling of paranoia. I rewatched the Hunger Games recently and it shows. While many of the sets of eyes are focused on a potential threat, they are missing another.
