Suspended against a soft, neutral backdrop, an intricately engineered mechanical heart hangs from thin cables attached at its upper valves. The structure mimics human anatomy but is rendered in polished brass, copper, and engraved metal plates. Ornamental filigree patterns are etched across curved panels, their swirling designs catching the light with subtle highlights. The upper section features ribbed copper tubing and cylindrical components resembling steam conduits or pressure chambers. Coiled pipes arc outward and back into the body, suggesting circulation powered not by blood but by heat and motion. The central chamber is encased in translucent glass, revealing a glowing amber core within. Inside, delicate gears, miniature cogs, and fine wiring interlace in a dense mechanical lattice. Small incandescent bulbs emit a warm orange light, illuminating the internal machinery like a furnace at the center of a living engine. The lower portion narrows to a rounded apex, where additional gearwork and riveted plates reinforce the structure. Tiny screws, valves, and ornamental bolts punctuate the surface, emphasizing craftsmanship and precision. The lighting is soft and controlled, with warm highlights reflecting off brass edges and cooler shadows defining depth. The overall mood blends Victorian industrial design with anatomical reverence, transforming the human heart into a luminous, clockwork artifact suspended between science and poetry.

A realistic model of a human heart. The plan is to replace the upper left quadrant (the aortic arch area) with gears and machinery. I survived an aortic aenyrism in October of 2020. My aortic arch was replaced by a mechanical one. I low-key tick, like the crocodile from Peter Pan.

An artistic rendering of gears in two major colors presented in perspective, that is flipped, would be a close fit to the upper left quadrant. It will make a great reference for the drawing for my eventual painting.

When I was a kid, my step dad had a Weimeraner (sp) named Duchess. She got Parvo. And my step dad took me, the dog and a rifle to the desert to show me how to be a man. Years later, my very first malamute, rescued from a kennel, was dying. When my step dad tragically died, I inherited that .308 rifle. I took my dog into the woods. I no longer own guns. There are things we do, or, that are done to us, that take bites out of our souls.

The blue valve and tube above the left chamber if the heart..... It exploded. I am 52. Some of the bites, have been deep. I am trying to fill those bites.... With paint.

Laying some plans for an oil painting down the road.
