Heart of Time

Canvas Print 0.75 inch Deep
 
This evocative painting, created by an inmate, portrays a vividly colored hourglass that captures the viewer’s attention with its striking symbolism and detail. Encased within the hourglass is a detailed anatomical heart, depicted in rich reds and pinks, from which blood droplets descend through the narrow passage of the hourglass into a pool at the bottom.
 
The pool forms a crown-like shape, suggesting themes of time, life, and perhaps the fleeting nature of power or legacy. The overall composition conveys a powerful narrative of the passage of time, the essence of life, and the profound impact of both, making it a poignant reflection of the artist’s inner world and experiences.
