Artist Statement: If LOVE is both the answer and the big picture, where do we begin? This heart was designed to begin anywhere, with any of the tiles, and recognize each piece plays a role in the making of the whole. None of us will be experts and kindness or love today, but we can each begin somewhere, become better at it, and then move on to the next invitation. Step by step, line upon line, day by day—we can be part of Love’s big picture.Kindness is the Essence of GreatnessInspired by the words of Joseph B. Wirthlin, this heart invites its viewers to make regular, meaningful steps towards laying aside our selfish inclinations and point us instead toward a better, kinder, gentler way of living and loving. How are you doing?Do you see yourself in this bigger picture of Love? Could any of these prompts encourage acts of kindness?Can you see how your acts of kindness can promote a kinder, better, more loving world?
