The heart-shaped form, crafted from beads like an embroidered illusion, becomes a manifestation of a dream — an image of utopia, beautiful and desirable. Here, the heart stands as a metaphor for the individual, society, or the dream itself: outwardly whole and alluring, yet internally composed of rigid, unrefined, though structurally reliable elements. This contrast highlights the dissonance between expectation and reality — we build our ideals from beautiful fragments, yet their foundations often rest on harsh and uncomfortable frameworks. Behind the utopian shell lies a complex, unresolved reality.
The cold, oceanic palette is devoid of the warmth traditionally associated with the heart, evoking a sense of detachment — as if the heart no longer belongs to the body, no longer bound to emotion. It appears suspended outside of the living context, dwelling instead in an otherworldly, aestheticized space.
