After seeing many examples of collages I decided to experiment with it.

Tristan and Isolde is an ancient legend of Celtic origins, retold in many versions. It deals with the tragic love of the knight Tristan and the queen Isolde, married with his uncle, King Mark. While escorting the then princess Isolde to the kingdom of Cornwall, they accidentally drink a love potion and fall uncontrolably and irreversibly in love. Tristan tries to follow his duty and Isolde marries King Mark, but they can't help keeping their affair in secret. The affair is eventually discovered and both are condemned to death, but manage to escape. They wander through the woods for years on end, surviving by roots, leaves and hunting, but find such a life too hard, and when the King one day finds them sleeping together with a sword between their bodies, but let them live thinking that means they are innocent, they finally give up and decide to go back to the court. However, Tristan is required to go away. They promise eternal love and fidelity.

Tristan is never able to forget Isolde, and eventually marries a princess called Isolde of the White Hands, because she reminds him of Isolde, but since he can't forget the other Isolde, he is unable to consummate the marriage.

One day he is gravely wounded and falls ill, and believes only Isolde, who knows the arts of healing, can save his life. His wife listens to his story behind the door. He sends a ship to bring Isolde, and combines that, if she still remembers him, and agrees to come, the sails must be white, if not, black, so he can give up his life. When the ship with Isolde is arriving, he asks his wife what color are the sails, in vengeance, she tells they are black. Tristan dies heartbroken, and Isolde, arriving too late, dies of grief, embracing him. Since their love is supernatural, transcedental and eternal, capable of overcoming all the obstacles, sufferings, persecution, separation and death, they reunite in afterlife, and the trees planted on their graves grow intertwined, and always when cut, they grow and become intertwined again.
