Resin, acrylic, collage on wood
12 x 12 × 1 in
A seated figure rests between fragments of memory, anatomy, and identity. An anatomical heart, a cerebral form, handwritten notes, and borrowed imagery accumulate beneath layers of resin, creating a space where emotion and thought become difficult to separate.
The title challenges a familiar romantic narrative. We often describe heartbreak as the loss of the heart, but some relationships linger elsewhere—in memory, in imagination, in the stories we continue to tell ourselves long after they end. The work considers the tension between what we feel and what we cannot stop thinking about.
As with much of my work, the figure is assembled from cultural fragments and personal associations. She exists in a state of reflection rather than resolution, suspended between attachment and understanding, vulnerability and self-awareness.
