Sometimes art speaks to one in a different way. This altered art piece was created using Voltaire's novel Candide. This story is a tale of love and class struggles which I've reinterpreted into a work of art. The book was cut and highlighted with pure white paper roses before being set into a 5x7, black shadow box frame. Because of the nature of this type of art, each piece is definitely one of a kind...I mean, I can only hack up a book one time and it is gone! This piece can be used in any decor. I am working on a number of other novels so check back often and see how I see some of the classic novels.
