This collection of heart sculptures shows two "kintsugi" inspired "healed-broken hearts", and a very symbolic
Valentines Day heart made as a fusion of two different metals.
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art where repairs to broken pottery are highlighted with gold or silver as opposed to being disguised.
This technique honours the object's past and embodies the philosophy of "wabi-sabi" that embraces flaws or
imperfections.
The copper heart has a golden aluminium bronze "symbolic repair", whilst the darkly patinated bronze heart has a stainless steel
repair.
A video the hearts being made can also be seen on David's Instagram:

The Valentines day heart is a fusion of copper and aluminium-bronze with a very special message inside. Some insights into its making can be seen on this
blog page, and a video of it being made can also be seen on David's Instagram:
