The article is about a man, Yasuo, who is still searching for his missing wife, Yuko. He recalls their last morning together, travelling to work and making plans for the evening, then the painful last text messages they shared.
Yasuo survived, but Yuko was never found.
A couple of years later, while watching the Japanese coastguard, Yasuo decided to learn to dive, to search for Yuko and finally bring her home. His love is demonstrated so hugely by his repeated and probably futile searching.
The extracted text doesn't differ in theme from the article, but separates out the romantic and poetic from facts and journalism.
I decided to add some colour images, which I made using pastels, charcoal and graphite worked over inkjet printed text. I took photos of the images and was a little concerned when the colours changed from the original; the black/grey charcoal turning to green. However, when I scanned the images, they thankfully remained true to colour. I was then able to upload them to the final document. I particularly like the grainy texture and the depth of the text in the images.
