Cracked

"Cracked" is a striking black and white self portrait that captures the heartache and healing process of a toxic relationship. The subject looks directly at the viewer, their ribs and heart visible like an x-ray. The heart is cracked, with rays of light shining through the fractures. This photograph is the final installment in the series "The Stages of a Heartbreak", where the journey from love to heartbreak is explored. "Cracked" represents the moment of healing and moving on, with the cracks in the heart symbolizing the lasting impact of the past relationship and the cautiousness that may come with future romance.

To ensure the longevity and optimal preservation of your artwork, please follow these detailed care instructions:

1. Handling

Use Gloves: Always handle the photograph with cotton gloves to avoid leaving grease or moisture marks. A pair of cotton gloves is included inside the package.

Avoid Direct Contact: Do not touch the photograph directly with your hands. Grease and moisture can deteriorate the surface of the print.

2. Storage

Controlled Environment: Store the artwork in a cool, dry place, preferably at a room temperature between 10ºC and 30ºC with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

Individual Protection: If you have purchased more than one photograph, never stack them without protection between each one. Place tissue paper or any other soft paper between them to avoid damage.

3. Display

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Do not expose the artwork to direct sunlight to prevent fading.

UV Protection: If you decide to display the artwork, ensure it is protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

Frame Materials: If framing the artwork, use acid-free materials for the frame and mat. If the frame is made of wood and comes into direct contact with the photograph, it must be natural wood and unvarnished.

4. Adhesives and Mounting

Acid-Free Adhesives: Use acid-free adhesives to avoid yellow marks and deterioration of the support. Any other type of adhesive can cause long-term damage.

5. Additional Instructions

Unrolling from Tube: If the photograph was sent in a tube, do not attempt to roll it back up after unrolling. This can cause permanent damage.

Drawer Storage: If you choose to store the artwork rather than display it, do so in a drawer and protect it with tissue paper or another soft paper to prevent scratches and damage.
