Love, preserved long after the body is gone.
A raised hand reaches upward, stiff and searching, while below it an exposed heart rests against a fragment of aged text. Rendered in careful watercolor washes, the heart is dense and physical, its folds and vessels lovingly observed, while the parchment beneath it carries the quiet weight of grief, memory, and language. The hand above feels less alive than the heart below, caught somewhere between motion and resurrection.
Inspired by Frankenstein and the true story of Mary Shelley keeping her husband’s heart in her writing desk, this piece lingers on devotion rather than horror. It is not about the act of creation, but what remains after loss. The tenderness of preservation. The ache of refusing to let something beloved disappear.
Printed as a fine art print available in 5" × 7" or 8" × 10" and matted in clean white to balance the stark imagery with breathing room.
Originally painted in watercolor on paper.
