Feedback said that the nature could take over the whole page. So I decided to play with transparency, and started experimenting with tracing paper.
The layer of tracing paper functions as a veil, evoking the materiality of a tomb covering and producing a soft, ghostly texture. Meanwhile, nature expands across the image, gradually overtaking the composition. The typography is designed to merge effortlessly with the image, becoming part of its atmosphere rather than standing apart from it.
I created a system in which the names are initially unreadable, only becoming legible when two sheets of tracing paper are carefully aligned on top of each other. It makes the viewer’s engagement intentional and tactile.
I used the font ont from Wikipedia and turned it into an organic font with missing/disappearing parts.
Printing each part separately, I drew the white parts by hand so it would be more organic.
