Heartcore is a dense, woven sphere that holds the accumulated weight of lived experience. Layers of hand-dyed paper—stained in deep reds, violets, and charcoal—wrap around an invisible center, each strip a trace of emotion absorbed over time. The surface reveals both chaos and intention: fibers cross, overlap, and sometimes tear, mirroring the way memories tangle inside us.
Sealed in resin, the sphere becomes a preserved moment—fragile material made enduring. The gloss catches light and shadow, inviting viewers to look closer, to sense that beneath every polished exterior lies a complex inner landscape of feeling.
This work speaks to resilience: the way the heart gathers its wounds and joys, binds them together, and continues to pulse. It is raw, it is protected, and it carries the quiet fire of transformation.
