"By Heart" is a play written by Tiago Rodrigues.
In this experimental book of the play, I decided to illustrate some extract of the text by scratching them on the paper.
The play is about memory, learning by heart, and how it can be an act of rebellion. During numerous wars and oppressions, memorizing books who where burned or censored was a quiet but extremely strong act. I wanted to show this violent but almost invisible activism of engraving words and ideas in your memory.
