THE SECOND HEART
2022
The metaphor of the heart explores humanity's reliance on and neglect of essential things, alongside the tension between authenticity and pretense in social interactions. As the core of life and emotion, its mundane yet vital presence is often overlooked until the threat of loss forces reevaluation. Extending it outside the chest symbolizes inner insecurity and the superficiality of societal connections. In a world of constant change, the work invites reflection on how crises are confronted, the essential rediscovered, and authentic selves reshaped through adaptation.
