Description
This highly expressive gothic bust depicts a woman who has removed her own heart and gently holds it forward, as if offering it to someone unseen. Her chest is left hollow—shaped like a torn, irregular heart—symbolizing emotional vulnerability and the weight of giving everything one has.
The sculpture combines smooth anatomy with finely detailed drapery, braided hair, and realistic organic textures on the heart. The figure looks downward with a serene, almost bittersweet expression, creating a powerful contrast between physical emptiness and emotional generosity.
