Image is best viewed with adequate resolution, size, and possibly distance.

The image is a composite of two renditions with the same texture - one is dark-on-light, the other light-on-dark. They are spliced across the outline of the girl.

The texture is provided by Sonnet III - True Love, copyright © 2023 M E Ovenden (used with permission). Here it is in slightly more readable form:

Omitting proof, romantics sometimes claim
that One True Love for each of us exists.
I doubt the truth of this, and seek to frame
a refutation, fit for scientists.
So henceforth when you find this concept cited,
let Reasoning and Logic be your guide:
then if such love is never unrequited,
a one-one onto mapping is implied.
But if True Love a mere bijection be,
then can Free Will permit True Love's embrace?
When ardent suitors do rejection see,
is Love then False, or Free Will sho'ing its face?
So ere you search long, think! You may agree
that your "True Love"'s True Love need not be thee!
