Material: Carrara Bianco C marbleYear: 2025Dimensions: 35 x 25 cm (height x width)Edition: 12 + 4 Artist's Proofs (AP)Heart depicts a serene upper body intertwined with branching o rganic forms that rise across the chest. The relief balances human anatomy and vegetal growth, turning the marble surface into a living membrane where body and nature merge. The soft curves of the lips and the quiet upward movement suggest renewal and connection rather than rupture.Carved by hand in Carrara marble, the work carries both fragility and weight. Each example varies slightly in veining and depth, revealing Westerberg's attention to the tactile dialogue between the carved line and the living form it evokes.What aspect of the inner life does Heart address?The emotional chamber: the first aperture toward aliveness, sensitivity and relational openness.How is this expressed in the work's form?Through softened openings and organic emergence that signal a direct line to feeling and responsiveness rather than protection.Why does Heart avoid sentimentality?The piece frames emotion as structural rather than decorative, an infrastructural part of being human.Delivery: Made to order, with a lead time of 8 to 10 weeks.
