Divisionary
My heart is an expression of my hope and desire for the future of Kansas City. It's a textural piece, so you are meant to feel it. You can touch it on one side of the heart, and you have the grid of the brick and the warehouse windows. You can feel the lines dividing those shapes. And as you move to the other side of the heart, those windowpanes break out of their frames and they come together and form a mosaic. That is to illustrate my desire that Kansas City would find ways to come together and care for each other, To have healing for a stronger community, a healthier community. I care a lot about the health of the city, and I want to see that in Kansas City. My heart is there to illustrate my desire and hope for our city.
