I choosed to use hearts and rainbows to represent my personal experiences with love being shaped by queerness. There are three main parts presented in the visual display. In the first part, tiny hearts flood the screen and are randomly colored and placed to represent the unexpectedness and the rush of early stages of love. The second part features a rush or rainbow and Lana Del Rey lyrics related to falling in love and being in love and a heart randomly moving around the screen representing happiness and excitement.
