acrylic and ink on wood


i loved this image the moment i saw it. i stumbled across it while reading live through this, an anthology from seven stories press about women, creativity, and self-destruction. the image is cristy c. road’s new year’s day, and it is acrylic and ink on wood.
i love that this woman is putting herself back together, holding her heart in her hands. i showed it to a friend and visual artist who said it looked like the woman was removing her own heart. we had very different interpretations, but i stick by mine.
what do you see?
what if all it took to put oneself back together was some needle and thread?
