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

I already had a likewise idea, but what I especially like about this one is the fact that the cow's heart adds some surrealness to it, on the one hand you can easily identify it as a heart but then it doesn't look human. I'll add it to my imaginary list of possible tattoo ideas

Well, I actually have to touch dead people ( I work at a hospital ) so a cow's heart is one of the most normal things to do, hey if you really want you can make a kickass dinner with a heart!!

Not only the picture, but the words you put it to, expression of the speechless pain so many feel on this day. Astounding work. You truly earned this Daily Deviation.

Ha. Oddly enough I was going to ask if it was a cow's heart. The only thing I could think of was something my former biology tutor had said when we were getting ready to dissect. He said something to the effect of, "Human hearts are much smaller. Only about the size of your fist. If your heart was this big every time it beat you'd splurt blood out of every possible orifice and then some." He was a charmer for sure.

I commented on this way back in the day when you posted it a couple years ago. I loved it then and I still do.
I find this to be the most awesome piece of art.
