If you're not familiar with blackout poetry, it's made by taking a page of a book and finding a "poem" or phrase within the page by blacking out the rest of the letters.
This poem reads:
"She no longer grappled with the lessons set before her and she yielded to none"
I blacked out the woman's silhouette using a sharpie and the shimmery blue background was made with InkaGold.
