Things that quicken the heart
The heart of an average person beats 60–100 times per second. This is considered normal. But, as I traveled from place to place, coming across these creations quickened the beat of my heart.
They drew me in as my curiosity developed. I became interested in and intrigued by all the processes that go into these creations—designing, sculpting, framework building, color selection, and the rationale behind deciding where they would be placed.
I imagined the days when these works had been completed, when they were installed, how the artists felt, and how everything came to be.
Why do they make me feel these strong emotions?
Why was I so passionately drawn to them?
How can they make my heart beat so fast?
