Context

Hearts turn up everywhere once you start looking: scratched into paint, taped to a window, pressed into concrete, drawn by someone who never expected it to be photographed.

The project

An ongoing visual archive documenting heart symbols encountered in everyday, found and street contexts during Naima's time in Sweden. The project treats repetition as a form of observation, collecting accidental, handmade and overlooked heart forms across different locations and surfaces.
