Layering the Narrative

Create a layered composition that brings together your collected images from the previous project. This is not a decorative collage but an intentional visual arrangement that explores symbolism, storytelling, and emotional tone.

Description

This task is about building a relationship between image, placement, and meaning. Working on paper or digitally, you will create a composition using symbolic elements gathered in your research: body parts, amulets, flora, masks, and other artefacts. You’ll explore how scale, contrast, repetition, and space create visual weight and narrative tension.
