Without a Trace

Without a Trace was started by Jody Zellen. She started a site back in July of 2007 where she stripped comic strips of the text leaving only empty thought bubbles. She combined these wordless images with tracings she did of the New York Times. She did this everyday for a year. Each day a comic image,her tracing, and three random words from the original comic strip were posted on her site. 

Without a Trace stresses the "remains", what is still left when everything else disappears. I think that Zellen was trying to leave enough evidence of her tracings to provide memory of what was there before. The combination of the word bubbles, the tracing, and the three words are used together to evoke a memory or feeling. I think that her idea is clever and it took her a lot of time to make Without a Trace.
