Literature is formed by words. The choice of different words constructs the emotions, sense, and the aesthetic of the literary work.

We analysed four of Oscar Wilde’s most important works and identified the word patterns, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lady Windermere’s Fan, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest.

We chose the 60 words that appear most often in these four works and arranged them by alphabetic order. Each page forms a mountain-like landscape, according to the word frequency.

Finally, we 3D printed these visualisations to transform Oscar Wilde’s works into three dimensions.
