Finally cracked this one, wholly creative use of the medium, splitting wide open any spacial constraints with both its geometry and subject matter, so many little nooks of brilliance hiding in the corners and corridors of these pages, functions-I hope purposefully-as a labyrinth in its own right.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Abandonment
Minor: Suicide
