A dark background and bland colors really extenuated the brightly colored red heart. Red is able to catch a persons eye especially when the background is dark and gloomy. There is an idea forgotten by the words ” I love you” that the artist might be trying to express. I love you continually spirals downward while the true meaning of love, the heart, stays up-front. The black light and boring colors could also mean the continuous re-phrasing of “I love you”, which is often over used or pre-maturly said. The spiraling downward of the paper gives the illusion of a 3-D art piece, and the closeness in contrast to the camera makes the viewer feel up close. As you look up-close to the paper, the words are faded out thus giving the viewer a better real-life feeling of being very close. Most likely this art piece was done to represent Valentines day, but there could be more than one meaning behind the picture. As he or she uses bright focal points to gain attention to the heart, the dim backgrounds also tell a story that each person might find to be different.
This was a tough photo to describe and you found a lot of details, which is good. Be careful about reading too much into observations, though. 5/5.
