"Sincerely Yours" is a digitally composited photograph featuring a woman in a flowing dress that overlaps a landscape. The woman is seen with her blonde hair cascading down her shoulders. Butterflies flutter around her and perch on her hands. The sky above is textured and houses a solitary cloud. The composition of this artwork creates a surreal and whimsical atmosphere, evoking a sense of oneness with nature.
