“Love Letters”

Two heart-shaped forms, one black, one white.
“The End” and “The Beginning.”

This work reflects on the quiet ritual of sleep. Each heart marks one side of the bed, suggesting the cyclical nature of rest: surrender and return, closure and renewal.

The forms resemble candied hearts, yet they are deliberately inedible. What appears sweet is rendered solid. The hearts rise from slender brass wire that emerges from a Pilot Fineliner pen, anchored in a steel base. The pen is both origin and author. The line becomes structure.

Language here is minimal. Direct. Almost naïve. Yet the pairing destabilises certainty. Is “The End” final, or is it simply the beginning of sleep? Is “The Beginning” hopeful, or fragile?

The work balances intimacy and objecthood. A private gesture made architectural.

Material: painted metal, brass wire, steel base, Pilot Fineliner pen
