PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The theme of the novel, censorship, is emphasized both by evoking the typical censorship practice of mosaicing and by directly drawing a red cross on the cover of the book. This intervention erases the name of the book, "Deleted Scenes," in a meaningful way. Thanks to the repeated typography that refers to the repeat motif, an important element in the plot of the novel, we can still read the words even though they are erased. Despite all efforts to erase, the truth somehow comes to light.

Juror Comments
“A simple X effectively and elegantly communicates the concept of the book.”
“The “X” of the title is both stark and fractured, the stark rectangular components of the “X” rendered in bright red become closed doors, censored lines and blinking cursors in their own right. In a game of hide-and-seek behind these bars, the title reveals itself. Arresting, simple and well executed.”
