The fallen angel sits on the ground, cradling her clockwork heart. Clockwork Heart combines gothic and steampunk imagery, with a hint of traditional fairy-tale style. The angel’s black wings contrast with her torn white dress, indicating a nature no longer pure. The tendrils on the clockwork heart seem to writhe around the red gem, hinting at a life in the machinery that mocks the natural beauty of the daisies in the bottom left-hand corner.
