the apple embodies love in its purest form. Each piece captures the tender vulnerability of a heart laid bare. The bite taken from the apple, shaped like a heart, speaks to the ache of absence—a piece of my heart missing, a quiet longing for what was or what might be. Through vibrant colors and delicate textures, the apple becomes more than fruit; it is a vessel for love’s joy and its poignant voids, inviting viewers to feel the weight of both.
