The creative process through which you reconstructed the context of Neruda’s poem by means of pictures indirectly recalls the Aristotelian perception on poetry’s old engagement with the art of making, on poetry as techne.
Furthermore, your thoughts related to the best ways necessary to capture each narrative trajectory point out the significance of the materiality of writing simply because the visual nature of the used materials (the images) contributes not only to the redefinition of writing itself but it also reinforces its performative function. This becomes obvious in your concluding words: even if the chosen images have very little to do with the process that Neruda describes, they do form a narrative, but one which reflects a new religion, that is they perform/generate a potential context for the poem’s content using a “different language other than alphabetic text.”
