Heart beats, me

There is a crack in my heart through which light can enter

Heart beats, me is a study into the heart – the anatomical, physical, spiritual and energetic heart, whose cracks let light in.

Heart is the only internal organ that creates its own rhythm. The piece asks who has the power to decide the rhythm of life, who determines the pulse of grief.
