This is your heart.

Not a symbol of it. Not a decoration. An anatomical heart - yours - rendered in gold against absolute black,

every interior surface covered in freehand linework drawn by hand without pattern or template, in the tradition of

Indian mehndi. No two lines the same. No shortcuts. Every curve placed with intention.

Hidden within the linework, if you look closely enough, are two words: Guard Your Heart.

Because it holds everything. Your wisdom, your love, your experiences, every version of yourself you have ever

been. It is full. It is beautiful. And it is worth protecting.

The gold appears to generate its own light from within.

The background is Museum Black - a Japanese pigment with zero light reflection - giving the surface the appearance of black velvet. Your heart, floating in darkness, luminous.

Guard it.
