CARDIAC BYPASS Limited Edition of 25

This painting represents the universal human experience of suffering with
emotional pain and heartbreak. We all sustain loss of loved ones, experience
grief, sadness, and pain which creates emptiness inside us and a longing to
reconnect.
We are each individually responsible for healing our own heartbreak, for
our own emotional healing. We are each capable of acquiring the tools and
skills to mend our own wounded hearts.

This artwork features a tall, stylized human figure standing upright on a green surface. The faceless figure is colored vertically into two halves, one painted in solid red and the other in solid black, with a smooth white outline separating the two halves. An empty heart shaped hole has pierced through the chest. The right half of the figure holds a yellow dustpan, while the left hand grasps a broom sweeping a small pile of broken red heart-shaped pieces on the ground. To the right, there is a beige paper bag resting on the floor. The background shows dark mountain-like shapes beneath a gradient sky transitioning from black at the top to blue and then green near the horizon. The entire composition is framed in black with a red border inside the frame.
