A weathered, heart-shaped object sits centerstage, imprinted with time's passage and life's trials. Coarse wood or stone, filled with cracks, creates an uneven texture and lends an air of rustic elegance. Different shades of brown fluctuate across its surface, leading the onlooker on a melancholic journey of a love now lost. Low-key lighting ramps up the image's evocative mood while a shallow depth of field blurs the surrounding world into insignificance.
