This piece is built like a High Renaissance Vatican-style oil painting—rich brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro, and museum-grade symbolism—then deliberately disrupted with graffiti energy and a distressed, cracked finish.

On the left, an ornate Excalibur-style sword forms the “I”: aged steel, engraved filigree, and a refined medieval crossguard—standing for the fight it takes to protect love. On the right, a deep red sculptural heart swells with baroque flourishes, split down the center by a subtle glowing fracture—warm gold light leaking through the damage, like truth showing up after the impact. Resting at the top is a cherub Cupid—only face and forearms—draped in classical cloth, quietly devastated, tears falling from a battle that keeps coming up short. Above it all, a small crown floats without touching—power and devotion hovering close, yet unable to prevent heartbreak when it arrives.

Below, a dramatic classical ribbon anchors the emblem—then the street takes over: bold graffiti lettering splashes across the ribbon with the word “MYSELF.” It’s the twist on the icon: when loving others fails, you rebuild the altar—inside.

Printed on an oversized snow-washed black tee, the vintage fade and roomy drape make the artwork feel even more like a found relic—worn, lived-in, and loud in the right way.
