Sind sie sicher?... Text project



The back of the piece.

I am in love with this old photograph, so perfect in so many ways.

The 3Dness of my project.
One of my favorite projects of the semester in my collage class. The only requirement was to involve text in some way, so I collaged the back of the box with pages from an old dictionary and a map. The images are from postcards that I found at the Salvation Army-- such a good find! I wrote "Sind sie sicher" in red nail polish. I chose this German phrase because it has a dual meaning-- Are you sure? and Are you safe?
 and I love the duality of both of those.
