Detective Flanders and the Zodiac Killer

7. The Third Victim

Everything hanging on the wall is used in this crime scene. The left wall shows LUST illustrated in gray and white squares. The back wall also holds gray and white squares, but in a seemingly-random pattern. Notice how LUST and the random pattern are both 5 squares tall and 12 squares wide? Hmmm…

On the right wall hangs an upside-down heart with an arrow. It’s begging to be corrected. That looks like a hint to turn something else around as well. For your convenience, attached is the back wall’s pattern flipped 180° around.

Also on the right wall is a demonstration that when two patterns collide, their colors change. What would happen if for every gray square in the word LUST, it swapped the color of the corresponding tile on the now-rightside-up back wall?
