This is a study of symbol and language. I started to visualize adjectives which don't have concrete representation or image. I had my own rules when making the cards to create symbolic image of each adjective.
First rule is to use only grayscales for all adjectives.
Second rule is to use only one circle and ink for 20 adjectives.
By overlapping my own vocabulary cards, I tried to create a new visual language of words. I started visualizing a sentence from the beginning.
I used my vocabulary cards to visualize the text of ‘The Stranger’ by Albert Camus. The book is comprised of two parts; part 1, and part 2. I chose three essential sentences in each part of the book, picked adjectives in those sentences, and overlapped my vocabulary cards.
