These are mini fridge magnets placed on a surface in a diagonal line to create some form of depth of field. The "o" & "e" letters have been placed on their side on purpose.
Only the letter "k" is completely in focus - all the rest are out of focus to give the impression of "broken".
I also used a random piece of cardboard for the background - again - portaying what I see as "broken".

Good lighting, but could have benefited from a slightly larger DOF to avoid the out-of-focus 'b'. Taking a picture of the word "broken" also seems a little too easy, and not really meeting the spirit of the challenge.
