Story Behind the Artwork
Throne of the Heart is a portrait of power shaped by pain — a heart cracked, bleeding, and crowned with dark feathers that rise like a ceremonial crest. This piece was inspired by the idea that strength often comes from what has been endured rather than what has been avoided. The fractured surface symbolizes emotional battles, while the deep red glow represents the life that persists beneath the damage. The black feathers evoke guardianship, ritual, and a sense of sovereignty, transforming the wounded heart into something royal. Throne of the Heart is a reminder that even broken things can hold authority, presence, and undeniable beauty.
