"When You Open Your Heart" – Assemblage Artwork

This mixed media piece was inspired by the quote: “When you open your heart, you’ll see the beauty around you.”

Created through the assemblage technique, the artwork brings together various textures, elements, and layers to form a visual metaphor for emotional openness. A heart, gently revealed among the materials, symbolizes vulnerability and strength. Around it, subtle details and soft colors reflect the beauty that becomes visible when we choose to see the world through the lens of love and awareness.

Each element was thoughtfully placed to remind us that when we open ourselves up – to emotions, to people, to the present moment – we begin to notice the quiet wonders that were always there.

This piece invites reflection, connection, and appreciation for the small, meaningful things that surround us every day.
