Format: Instead of Paper
From tutorials and my own thoughts it became clear that I didn't have a strong enough reason as to why I would be using a4 matte paper.
From a documentary on the BBC, Gold Leaf was used to create a medium for a piece of art. I thought this would be a complete turn around as well as giving it a definitive reason.
Since the Gold leaf is so delicate it reflects that of life itself (which is expressed in the predictions), so tangible yet so dainty. The gold will be 24ct which in a more literal sense, represents the many monetary issues as well as producing a metaphor of how life is pure and exquisite. Another subtle factor is the reflective properties of the gold, although not being 100% reflective as say a mirror, it holds a less literal sense, in the hopes that the audience will reflect on themselves, in addition to the work.
