Chains of Love takes the heart motif in miniature, bound tight with salvaged steel. A symbol of devotion, constraint, and longing.
The chain has long been a symbol of bondage, loyalty, and devotion. Chains of Love captures this tension within the heart form: small, compact, yet weighted with meaning. In myth and folklore, chains often appear in love stories — as symbols of captivity or commitment, of vows that cannot be broken. This sculpture’s heart is not free, yet it still endures, carrying both longing and loyalty. Its compact size belies the heaviness of its symbolism, making it an intimate piece that asks the viewer to consider their own bonds and barriers.
