Stitched World with Arrhythmia’s Heartbeat
Embracing the world map in the form of a ceramic relief, ‘Stitched World with Arrhythmia’s Heartbeat’ unfolds as a metaphorical conversation. Addressing the Earth symbolically personified as a lady, the sculpture becomes a canvas adorned with stitches, each representing a mark of healing or past wounds. Expressing a heartfelt wish for the cessation of these symbolic stitches, the speaker acknowledges the challenge of enduring such pain. Apologetically recognizing personal limitations in offering tangible assistance, the speaker unveils a poignant gesture — a commitment to bridge the emotional gap. Metaphorically intertwined with the Earth’s heartbeat, the speaker, in the daily ritual within their garden, seeks to synchronize their own heartbeat with the rhythmic pulse of the planet. ‘Stitched World with Arrhythmia’s Heartbeat’ thus becomes a testament to the power of empathetic connection, transcending physical borders in a shared heartbeat.
