Whose heart? Mine, yours? And whose hand? Converting the image of this heart pendant into a handheld disc speaks of the trust we place in others to take care of us, and us of them.
The disc will be a small and intimate piece of my heart that simultaneously acknowledges the big world around us by referencing the sign language and colour palette of our urban environment.
