Description
love is something that endures—quietly, constantly, without stopping.
Love at Work is an anatomically inspired heart reimagined as a mechanical system. Gears, fluid channels, and structural elements suggest motion, pressure, and endurance, while the heart itself represents the life it sustains.
The sculpture includes a pedestal-style base with a plaque reading LOVE AT WORK, intended to feel more like a machine status label than a slogan. The design balances industrial grit with restraint and reflection, making it suitable for Valentine’s Day while remaining meaningful year-round.
This model is part of the Drift Series, which focuses on sculptural designs that suggest flow and continuity even while standing still.
