It was just another day, but, this one was different, almost perfect...

Suddenly you looked at me, you placed your hand in my face, I thought you were going to kiss me, so I closed my eyes...

But you stabbed me in the chest.

I was lying on the floor, crawling, trying to reach you; You just smiled and you walked away leaving me behind.

You didn't need a knife to do harm, you only used your words, even now I can't get those words out of my mind; All my senses can't define my feeling...

I remained lying there for 4 days, finally, I had the strength to stand up, I looked around and there it was, broken in 3 pieces, but it was still moving, very slowly but moving, it was suffering.

With tears in my eyes I started the needlework, the pain was leaving with every stitch, the hate was fading.

All those pieces were together again, I looked at it and it wasn't pretty anymore but it was stronger, wiser.

Maybe in the future It will break again, but I will have to work less, the pieces will be smaller...

You didn't succed, I didn't die, I'm here, standing alone, your words will never hurt me, ever again..


*sigh* I don't really like valentine's day, but this time I tryed to do something different, not the usual romantic stuff, because there is always two sides of the story, this is mine...

It's a cow's heart, I tryed to use a pig's but I wasn't getting the right effect, yes, I know, that is a huge heart, I sliced it in 3 pieces and I stitched it , it was gross but fun at the same time , I planed this shot for about 3 weeks, and it's finally here.

PS work: A lot, levels, tones, brightness/contrast, layering.... but I think it looks quite good .
