About This Painting

The human heart is no simple valentine. It is a muscle. It wraps around itself, hosting chambers, entrances, exits, and the mysteries of human emotion.

The lungs expand, the heart pulses, and together they extract lifeforce from the air itself. You are breathing the world, taking it into you in all its multiplicity. You take the world into your lungs, change it, and release it - you and the world in endless, rythmic exchange.
