Each observant heart, or Oculus Cordis (latin for “eye of the heart”), is individually hand sculpted and decorated and has a keyhole slot on the back for hanging – though you don’t have to hang it!
These sculptures are a design that I developed based on ancient symbolism and roman/pre-roman votives. The eye is a symbol of protection and watchfulness, and when used as part of the Oculus Cordis imagery it symbolizes the human consciousness and ability to divine truth.
The photo of the back of one of these hearts is to show how they hang, and may not be the back of this exact sculpture.
Hand crafted and fired to cone 7 oxidation in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
