This is in response to the weekly challenge "Red" at Illustration Friday I created this last year after discovering digital collage. It's a piece that is close to heart (no pun intended - well sorta), as it is a personal response to the open-heart surgeries I underwent in my 20s.
This collage is a creative outlet for the invasion, vulnerability, and fear that is intertwined in those memories. I'm curious to hear what you experience from this piece.
And then I felt inclined to actually create something specifically for this challenge, see RED ANTS

I hadn't seen this before I painted a human heart of my own, and now that I have seen it, I kind of wish I HAD added the collage background I was seriously leaning towards- yours turned out so wonderfully.
And thank you for opening your heart to all us IFers. :)
