Dense Caption

The image features a pixelated, static composition with horizontal rainbow stripes (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) forming the background. Three stacked white rectangular text boxes contain bold black sans-serif text: top box reads "Live <3", middle box reads "Laugh <3", bottom box reads "Love <3". Each word is followed by a heart symbol rendered as '<3'. The pixelation creates a retro digital aesthetic with visible dithering and blocky edges on all elements.
