DescriptionA sculpture depicting a heart being struck by an arrow. The arrow has a wooden shaft and fletchling and a red plunger as a point. The shaft of the arrow features folds bunching up ahead of a large bulge in the center. The heart, shaped like an anatomically incorrect symbolic heart, is brown, has a rough texture, and features folds where the plunger strikes it. The composition is mounted to a wooden base with a red arched backdrop. The back features a zig-zag form which resembles electricity surrounding the heart. The bottom of the base is brown with bronze screws lining the sides and a top which slants downwards. The top features diagonal lines of cut-out, morse code-like dots and dashes. The top features an oblong cutout with emanating points on the front.On View
