HEART: PORTALS OF CONNECTION

Michelle Hoogveld’s vibrant heart-shaped sculptures featured in Heart: Portals of Connection offer an invitation to explore the depths of human connection. These striking, mirror-image pieces act as symbolic gateways, reflecting the inextricable links that bind us all. Commissioned by Brookfield Properties Arts & Events, the work’s bold gradients of color ignite within each heart, emphasizing the emotional flow and shared experiences that unite us across cultures and boundaries. As metaphorical portals, the works provide a space for introspection on love, compassion, and the transformative power of human connection. Heart: Portals of Connection celebrates the beauty of emotional resonance, highlighting the potential for growth, healing, and unity in our collective journey. Through these sculptures, Hoogveld opens a space for viewers to reflect on the infinite possibilities that emerge when we embrace the full spectrum of connection, encouraging a more compassionate, inclusive and colourful approach to the world around us.

The installation is on view behind the turnstiles in the lobby at 200 Liberty Street within Brookfield Place New York.
