I don't think that these four letter word projects are writing because they are visual images. There are no words except for the four letter word itself. They can not be considered compositions either. They are a way of expression just as writing is but the whole point of the project was to prove an argument without writing. It was just a succession of pictures that together developed into something beyond each individual picture. It may have accomplished the same purpose as writing but it definitely is not the same thing.
Writing is not about using images. It is about recording language on paper. The visual images in these projects did not have any visible language. The images gave the audience the opportunity to decide what was being said. It wasn't blatantly in front of them. There's more room for interpretation and flexibility with the visual images than with writing.
