Mended Hardt Metal Sculpture

“Mended Hardt” is a poignant metal sculpture that conveys the complexities of emotional healing. The metal heart features a deliberate crack that symbolizes a past fracture. Scars and wounds are meticulously carved into the surface, each line telling a story of pain and resilience. Bound with copper wire, the stitches represent the delicate process of mending. The piece rests on a rustic oak base, grounded in nature, emphasizing the interplay between strength and fragility. “Mended Hardt” serves as a powerful testament to the beauty found in healing and the scars that tell our stories. This specific piece one won 3rd place at my local veterans creative arts festival last year.
