Where the Heart Resides

“‘Where the Heart Resides’ explores the feminine journey of consciousness, with the waters of the ocean representing the emotional current and life force that flows within. A woman stands on the rocks looking out to sea (‘looking out to see’). The ocean awakens her heart because through it, she sees her heart’s reflection and feels its whispers in its currents. “ ~ Leni Kae, artist
