"Broken Heart" is a sculpture depicting a realistic human heart fragmented into many pieces and delicately glued back together. Hand-sculpted flowers emerge from the veins and aortas, symbolizing the idea that beauty and growth can arise from emotional wounds and adversity.

This artwork challenges the notion that a broken heart cannot be mended. It conveys the message that despite hardship, something beautiful can emerge and flourish.

While the heart is mended, visible scars remain, serving as a reminder of the healing process and the resilience of the human spirit.

Through "Broken Heart," viewers are invited to contemplate the complexities of healing and transformation. The sculpture embodies the idea that from brokenness can come unexpected beauty and new beginnings, even in the presence of enduring scars.
