After scanning this collaged & typed over page, i broke the page up into 2 inch x 2 inch squares, resulting in the finished images.
"i think of covert as a way to represent communication visually. sometimes we catch snippets of dialogue, in a familiar language or unfamiliar. even when paying close attention we are not always able to catch all words. misunderstanding & confusion may occur as well"
