A new piece (of my heart)
A New Piece (of My Heart) explores resilience and emotional memory through a shared physical language. Fragments of body, matter, and feeling are gathered into a space where care and strength coexist. Blurring the lines between intimacy and collectivity, the work reveals that what is broken can still pulse with connection — that every heartbeat carries both personal and collective histories.

"..The work does not retreat into self-reference, nor does it yield entirely to social protest; it inhabits that liminal space where the private becomes a mirror of larger processes, where personal experience becomes a political landscape..."
