"Heart Gerda" 2024
 
Garment collage canvas made from a vintage sweater found in Cologne Germany in the year 2000.
24 cm x 34 cm framed
 
The canvas captures  an isolated close-up and abstracted image of the human heart.
 
Garments hold and create identity. Those worn, cherished, or preserved over years often function as relics, carrying the presence of a person, a style, a moment, or an event. They are encoded with memory, visible through unique wear, tear, and traces of lived experience.
Garments externalize what is often held internally, a shell or appearance that can reveal and express but also hide. The heart becomes a keepsake, holding what remains as truth, distilled and filtered through time.
