PAPER HEARTs
love is an art that is felt by the heart

It is hard to make others see things the way I do-- simply because they are not me... But perhaps after reading this, you might find, I might find, that maybe we're more a like than I think..

Although love is usually associated with a feeling towards others, I believe that the truest form of love is perhaps obsession. Obsession over... something intangible. For me, my love is music and art, as it will remain to be forever. But why is it the truest form of love? Unlike people, art and music will not wait for you; they will not forgive you. (Have you ever fallen for a person out of their pure persistence?) You love them (oh beautiful music and art) and yet they could never love you back... but you still race on... after them. But like family and friends, they can soothe you and you can go to them when there is nothing else..

Symbolism:

1. When I draw or play/listen to music... reality melts away (as cheesy as that may sound, haha) and I'm free from stress and other worries. The picture of me in the poster is blurred because I have already faded into my "dream world."

2. The "bubbles" of light floating around me emphasize this surrealistic world I've created for myself.

3. I wore a white shirt because like how white is a symbolism of purity, fine arts is the purest form of love. (to me anyways)

4. The viola is drawn in as opposed to a real viola because as I have stated above, my love for music and art is an intangible love. Though it may lead to love towards materialistic things (such as copic markers or a grand piano).

5. Background is a dusk setting because it is the time before sleep... time before dreaming. And stars are so dreamy anyways.

6. The font used for "Paper Heart" is called BitterSweet which can be well related to both my love for music and art. Though they are my sanctuary for everyday life (Sweet), music and art can often betray when a piece is too hard for me to sightread or when I fail to draw the perfect picture I had imagined in my mind. (Bitter)

7. A bass clef was used (not only because it creates a lovely heart) because like how the bass clef in piano music is usually for harmony (and not melody) music and art is usually thought to be the harmony in the idea of love. (Love of another person is the melody, the line that everyone hears and universally understands.) But even if this harmony isn't widely accepted, it is special to me.

8. And it's composed by (as opposed to "directed by") because even if he didn't write the "music" (script movie), Mr. Jasenovec still put the whole thing together.

Paper Heart means to me of an undecided love. Because whatever goes on paper is temporary-- something you can easily scrap if you make a mistake (like a draft). Though every love may start as "paper hearts..." only true love will grow from a simple sketch, that little pick up note, into a masterpiece of sight and sound. -- Or, a wonderful person who means the world to you.
