yes, my eye is practiced in seeing a heart in almost everything.  including chicken in the skillet.

these old springs were very resistant to being bent out of their comfort zone.  i secured them to the wood with a staple gun, then allowed my volatile heart to live outside of the house, where weeks later, it sprung its hold (as i suspected it would!)

really kinda stretching the vision on this one.  cheers!

two string halves make a whole
