Process

1-     To start, we painted the rainbow bars with airbrush. We used fluorescent colors to make the sculpture more visible at night.

2-      Then, we placed the vinyl with panoramic views of the streets of San Francisco in black and white, making it seem like torn paper. The effect is as if we were opening a gift, and the gift was a heart.

3-      Next, we put the colored QRs on the surface, matching the rainbow color bars.

4-      Finally, we varnished the heart with a transparent protector.
