This work represents Queen through 3,028 words drawn from the lyrics of their songs.

The most delicate part came with songs written by more than one member, or in cases where a line, a title, or an idea came from the contribution of several members. In those moments, I had to consult texts and interviews, trying to attribute the words as coherently as possible.

In this calligram, I was interested in representing Queen as a group, not only as the sum of four faces. The words build the individual identities, while also restoring the collective image of a band in which each member left a recognizable mark.
