Description
The image shows two pages from a journal with a collage and illustration. The left page features a collage of a person wearing a light-colored top hat with a red heart emblem. The background includes an American flag and several strips of paper with printed text. At the top and bottom, handwritten text reads, "i carry your heart. i carry it in my heart." The right page displays an illustration of a similar person in a top hat and a medical-style diagram of the cardiovascular system with a prominent red heart. Two labeled tabs stick out from the top labeled "TALP EXHIBITS" and "AMBULANCE RIDE." The page edges are visible, colored in with various hues.
