Artist Peyton Fulford started her photographic project by asking people from all over the world, via Tumblr, to send her text messages, email text and dairy entries related to heartbreak.

She then turned certain phrases into banners, placed them across abandoned buildings and photographed them to create a series called Abandoned Love.

There is something so sad about each photograph – yet one can’t help but feel a little comforted to know that others have also shared the same sentiments at one point in their love lives.

After all, love can be exhausting.
