A companion image to Language Before Violence — not illustration in the commercial sense, but a symbolic tableaux: objects that imply conversation before conflict.
Composition
- Retro diner typography without readable trademarks
- Suitcase, tape recorder, coffee cup — props of talk
- Warm reds restrained to accents, not saturation
Intent
Gallery pieces here should stand alone visually while remaining tethered to written work. The text and image echo each other across sections without requiring both to be consumed at once.
