+SS.ViD’ H(ear)TS

SS.ViD’ H(ear)TS Emma-Claire Fierce’s SS.ViD’ H(ear)TS is a powerful exploration of human fragility, resilience, and memory. Comprising 24 works—18 plastic-encased hearts, 6 alternative forms, and the photographic finale DeparteD II—the collection delves into themes of entrapment, preservation, and transformation. Using materials like plastic and fishing string, Fierce connects the universal to the personal, reflecting her Pisces identity and affinity for the ocean. The pieces are wrapped in symbolic measuring tape spanning 7 to 90, representing consciousness, milestones, and legacy. DeparteD II, featuring a lifebuoy, concludes the series with a moment of quiet reflection on survival, connection, and endurance.
