About
A monumental, semi-glossy heart, slightly tilted, is split by a jagged crack from base to top. By day, its mirrored surface reflects the sky and people. By night, the crack glows like magma, bathing visitors in red light. A vertical light rises from the top, pulsing like a lightning signal. Touch-sensitive sensors sync the light to a visitor’s heartbeat or nearby music. The work transforms a single heart into a shared organ, where strangers synchronize pulse and presence. The project is a portrait of resilience: fractures that once felt like endings become stitched with light. Breakage is reframed not as failure, but as a channel for light and connection. Fractures become doorways. Repair is participatory.
