Pulling from all of that, I created a visual story about a man trying to express his love in the most romantic way—through letters, handwritten words, and flowers. A gesture that feels rare today.
But she doesn’t accept it. She burns the letters, and people passing by can’t help but watch. It’s raw and expressive.
Still, life is full of twists. And just because one connection fades doesn’t mean another isn’t about to begin.
