Heart Opener
Adrienne Tabet
24 kt Gold, Steel, Resin, Clay, Cacao.
3.3ft.
Pierced through the heart and a light expanding outward.
A yellow and a green.
Sunshine and Anahata.
Both. Altogether. Simultaneous.
“Heart Opener.”
Cracks are where the light can shine through.
Her arms and legs rooted- as a tree- in copper.
Gold towards her crown.
We have danced together, I have sculpted her and she has sculpted me. The moment she was completed, I collapsed onto the floor and had a vision of all my past trauma flooding in and flashing before me. I then went to the beach where I watched the most beautiful angel child with big n’ tight curls run around and play amongst the ocean, sand, full moon, and bonfire. He must've been the height of the sculpture. He eventually ran up to me and so sweetly complimented the beauty of my curls. I was overpowered with an intensity of love in that moment, something that I am- we are- able to fully embody.
Like many Tabet artworks which rebirth over time, Heart Opener initially appeared as such.
Also pictured: Her elegant base which includes a metal component that fastens to any surface below..
We may chose to let our experiences make us wiser
To strengthen us and our collective
Connected to nature, neighbor and Source.
She fastens by a screw at the base of her legs to any base- in this case, the wood.
