Description
The image shows a journal page featuring a collage of a person wearing a wide-brimmed white hat with black stripes and a red heart emblem. The person is dressed in a black outfit with a red scarf and is holding a small red heart in their open palms. The background is a plain white, adorned with several drawn symbols resembling plus signs within circles, and a handwritten note indicating "HAT = 4”" with an arrow pointing upwards. Adjacent to the main image is another collage featuring the same person with a colorful striped background. The text “i carry your heart” is visibly overlaid in large, stylized letters. Smaller text reads, “i carry it in my heart.” Two tabs labeled "TALP EXHIBITS" and "AMBULANCE RIDE" protrude from the journal.
