I chose the above image from Francisca's work because it has the most visual impact. It's part of a mini-book she's created about Chernobyl, which I am interested to find out more about. It uses a lot of little black confetti pieces, which seem to represent... Radioactivity? Illness? Ruin? Something profound, at least. But what I really love is when she uses thread (see the first 5 thumbnails--they all involve thread).

A: I always loved graphic design and crafts and I started to make collages 3 years ago in my free time like a visual diary.
