“Bleeding Heart Red” is a poignant art piece that conveys the profound emotions evoked during the pandemic, particularly those arising from loss and grief. At its core, the artwork features a prominent bleeding heart symbol rendered in a striking combination of shades – red, gold, and black – each carrying deep significance.

The central element, the bleeding heart, epitomizes raw emotion and vulnerability. Its vivid red hue symbolizes intense love, passion, and compassion, reflecting the deep connections we share with our loved ones, especially during challenging times. The heart’s gentle bleeding edges allude to the pain of loss, reminding us of the emotional wounds borne during the pandemic’s toll.

The golden accents woven throughout the artwork signify hope and resilience amidst adversity. They serve as glimmers of light in the darkness, representing the strength found within communities as they come together to support one another.

Contrastingly, the presence of black undertones captures the somber reality of grief and mourning. It represents the darkness that enveloped the world during the pandemic, a time of immense sorrow and collective struggle.

“Bleeding Heart Red” encapsulates the rollercoaster of emotions experienced during the pandemic-induced losses. It serves as a testament to the human capacity to endure, find hope amidst despair, and emerge stronger together. This art piece stands as a visual ode to the heart’s resilience, celebrating the power of human connection in the face of adversity.

“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
Mahatma Gandhi
