visual poetry

unspoken mosaics

Unspoken Mosaics is a visual-poetry collection created by deconstructing poems written over a period of thirty years. Lines, words and fragments leave sequential reading and are reorganised through scale, direction, rhythm, pause and empty space. Text begins to exist simultaneously as language, image and structure. The spatial installation Architecture of Words is a continuation of the book itself: the same text moves from paper onto successive transparent planes, acquires depth, and changes through light and the viewer's movement. The book is not illustrated but transformed into an architecture in which language becomes material and is experienced as space.

Unspoken Mosaics → Architecture of Words

from poetry collection to
spatial installation

Architecture of Words is not a separate project inspired by Unspoken Mosaics, but a spatial continuation of the poetry collection itself. In the book, the poems are deconstructed: lines and words leave sequential reading and are organised through scale, direction, rhythm, pause, and empty space. In the installation, the same text moves from paper onto successive transparent planes. Typographic layers acquire depth, while light and the viewer’s movement alter their overlap and reading. The collection is therefore not illustrated but transformed into an architecture in which language becomes material and is experienced as space.
