Heart in Love

Heart in Love is a soft sculpture made with textile and fiber pieces. It was born from the language of touch, fabric tufted with soft and hard materials, each piece carrying its own history before finding its place in this accumulation of longing.

At its center, a dried rose rests, its petals preserved mid-bloom, mid-decay, a reminder that love does not disappear but transforms. The sculpture holds contradiction, the way the heart does: the softness of boucle yarn alongside the hardness of shell beads, the warmth of cream and blush beside the intensity of crimson and black. Nothing here is singular. Everything is accumulated, gathered, stitched together the way memory and feeling collect over time.

The materials are deliberately varied and deliberately personal. Some pieces are smooth and deliberate, others are raw, unfinished at the edges. This is the texture of intimacy. Love being seamless is layered, sometimes knotted, occasionally unraveling, but always, at its core, full.
