Hearts' Connection, as feelings of love, empathy, and understanding.
Hearts' Connection is one of the latest artworks by Pilade, which is part of a collection named Inner Me.
The inspiration for "Hearts' Connection" came to the artist during his daily work journey during the COVID-19 lockdown. While traveling on almost empty trains and the London underground, Pilade created a series of drawings. In the eyes of the artist, the bustling metropolitan places had become lonely and surrealistic, where connections, feelings of love, empathy, and understanding were completely annihilated. Through the "Hearts' Connection" art installation, the artist hopes to reflect on what has been left of that time, not only the difficulty of human reconnection but also the significant changes in our society. In a world that has rapidly become more technologically advanced, leaving traditional human relationships to be feared.
The heart is often considered the centre of emotion and love, and thus the name "hearts' connection" emphasises the importance of emotional and spiritual connections in our lives. When we connect with others on a heart level, we are able to establish a deep bond that goes beyond superficial interactions or shared experiences.
Hearts' connections can occur between romantic partners, family members, friends, and even strangers. It is a powerful force that can bring people together and create a sense of belonging and fulfillment. When we experience hearts' connections, we feel seen, heard, and valued, which can boost our sense of self-worth and confidence.
However, it is important to note that hearts' connections do not always come easily. It requires vulnerability, authenticity, and a willingness to be open and honest with ourselves and others. It also requires active listening, empathy, and a willingness to understand and accept others for who they are.
Overall, hearts' connections are essential for our emotional and spiritual well-being. They provide us with a sense of belonging, purpose, and connection to the world around us. By nurturing and cultivating heart's connections in our lives, we can create deeper and more meaningful relationships with those around us.
