I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

I opted to veer away from traditional and intended imagery with these words uttered by Iago in William Shakespeare’s play, Othello. Iago is the deceitful, revenge-seeking antagonist in this tragic story, and I didn’t want to give weight to the negativity. I did continue with the intended meaning of the words of outwardly showing emotion but portrayed something
more genuine.

According to the original plan, this file would have had sixteen layers, instead, I ended up with eight. The three colored panels have an applied distort filter overlaying a reduce-transparency heart image.
