Stitched into cover: Is unwrapping truth necessary?

Mixed media: inter alia - embroidery, collage, glass shards, postage stamps.

Almost all the text is stitched.

Text of which some is asemic. e.g: Collage, wire sculpture and textiles has a "hereness" as opposed to a "thereness" of painting. On cover - The truth is that truth is not luminous or clear and that it means many different things to as many different people.
