I found the panel on the bottom of page 7 to stand out to me the most. Above the picture there is a caption that says "It was his passion. And I mean passion in every sense of the word" and inside the panel, in a box are the words "Libidinal. Manic. Martyred."
This particular panel stood out to me because of the reference (or at least I think it is) to the Passion of the Christ. The word "passion" in the caption works with the picture, of her father, with the house shadowed in the background, hunched over, looking tired, and carrying piece of wood for his house as Jesus carried the cross through the streets and also the word "Martyred." in the box works to create this image of her father sacrificing himself for his passion for historical restoration. When you think of the Passion of the Christ, it invokes a lot of deep emotions for people, tied to a passion for their religion, and by making an allusion to that the author is visually showing you how much her father loved his restoration, that he would give himself for it like Jesus did for his people.
