Stop Your Heart

“Stop Your Heart” explores the idea of giving too much of yourself away and realizing you need to stop but being incapable of doing so. Posing the idea of mind verses heart. The struggle this cycle of thinking a person experiences when their mind tells them it’s time to stop but their bleeding heart is incapable. The use of red and blue is to draw a connection to diagrams many of us are familiar with when shown a graphic about the cycles of the heart, show the conversation that the mind and heart have. Once again using collage, embroidery, and illustration to display the complexities of this situation and how external and internal information affects one’s actions.
