In this project, images are treated as a language that directly conveys meaning. Rather than illustrating or repeating the text, they express tone and emotion through colour, light, and spatial relationships between objects. Each image is paired with a news headline, responding to the same theme in a different way. This parallel structure challenges the conventional path of reading — image → text → meaning — and proposes an alternative: image → meaning ← text.
Tabloid headlines often carry strong narratives—with clear conflict, characters, and direction. I reconstructed these structures using a set of unrelated everyday objects. Presented as a newspaper, the work mirrors the original medium, offering a familiar entry point while shifting its content entirely.
