What began as a personal journey through grief, winter of 2019, intersected with exploring aspects of grief as a universal human condition.

The installation, Aspects of the Broken Heart, reflects my dedication to pursuing grief, separation, heartache, dejection and despair through creative expression, making way for heart-expansion, forgiveness and the experience of being held.

Thank you to my Heart Donors who gratuitously gave me money to pursue this installation.
