3 of Hearts

The final element was adding tiny bits of string for each artery and vein. Each carrying oxygen and nutrients away from the heart and others carry blood to the heart. Now, of course this isn't anatomically 100% accurate. I didn't want a science book illustration but something with spiritual meaning. We all have hearts...It's our central muscle that circulates. Hearts..the shape we see of our overly hyped up "holiday" commercialized for $$. Heart can be the soul. Hearts can represent being brave. When we're in emotional hell, we can't help but to say "My heart is broken".

Now, my realization of why I created these 3 human hearts floating in darkness came to me after I finished. You have a Beginning, Middle, and End whilst living on this planet. You have a journey and paths to take. This past year, I was in one of those cycles. I had a realization of who I wanted to be as a person, what my beliefs were, and how I wanted to walk my path in life. I was sliding out of the darkness finally....ya know the darkness I was In when I first tried to start this artwork. There's a reason I didn't finish it... because it wasn't time. It wasn't ready. Symbolically 3 hearts represent, letting go of the past and embracing the new. The expansion in creative endeavors, business, and/or love. I finished it today because it represented another step toward my adventure in life. I held my heart sacred and given it to many, who didn't know how to take care of it. So I held on to it tightly this last year so as to not have it mishandled. But artwork speaks the truth in the person who creates it. So I guess it's time to embrace the "new" officially and let go of the past.
