Artist: Emily McPhie
Title: So Much Love in my Heart
Medium: Pencil and ink on paper
Artist Statement: Sometimes the love we carry feels bigger than what we can hold inside ourselves, and the only thing to do is share it. In this piece, a young woman holds up a red heart and looks through it, choosing to see the world through a lens of love. The world can be dark and I can be quite cynical, but your song “So Much Love in My Heart,” reminds me that love has the power to heal and comfort our souls. I hope this piece works in tandem with that message to show that we have the ability to look at the world with love and that when we do, even the darkest things can become a little brighter.
