A World of Her Own
A vibrant celebration of hope and an embrace of the human experience.
ABOUT THE ART
New Heart is a vibrant, playful exploration of what it means to be a body in nature. Human-like figures drip with emotion, inviting viewers to discover their own unique joy, build connections, and thoughtfully reflect.
It’s a bright reimagination of the future – a future where humans move through the world not through fear and guilt, but with strength, unity, and peace.
NATALIA FRANCO
Captivating creatures ebb and flow throughout the gallery, some playful, some watchful. Space dogs joyfully invite onlookers to be present, to join their dance of land and time. Guardian figures stand with an echoing presence, urging viewers to step into their own unique power to shift the outcome of our collective future.
At its core, New Heart sings to the sacredness of being alive. It celebrates the marvel that is the human consciousness. It cherishes the divinity of the biological world. Through this viewers will leave feeling more connected—to our Earth, to each other, and most importantly, to themselves.
