2023
About the Item
Nestled within the contours of this vibrant sculpture is a profound testament to the unwavering strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people. The Heart was fired at low temperatures to allow the glass to have harshness to the finish in order to symbolize the difficult struggle to exist. The heart-shaped form symbolizes the enduring love and unity that binds the nation together in the face of adversity.
The choice of colors, a harmonious blend of yellow and blue, pays homage to the national flag of Ukraine. The brilliant yellow represents the boundless fields of golden wheat, embodying the spirit of prosperity and the fertile lands that have sustained generations. Complemented by the deep blue, reminiscent of the expansive sky above, it signifies the vast possibilities and dreams that thrive within the Ukrainian soul.
Every curve and facet of this sculpture tells a story of tenacity and courage. The intricate details evoke the resilience of a people who have faced challenges throughout history yet emerged stronger, like the textured surface that hints at the scars healed with time. The heart, a universal symbol of love and compassion, becomes a vessel for the collective strength that beats within the Ukrainian people.

Sherry Been is a Manhattan-based artist, sculpting in metal and using the enameling process to create unique sculptures of glass on copper. The compelling theme of her artwork is to elevate self-worth in marginalized individuals and communities by love-induced artwork that amplifies a “YOU MATTER” message. Sherry Been's world is a crucible of artistry and alchemy. From her Manhattan studio, she breathes life into metal, transforming it into vibrant sculptures through the ancient art of enameling. Molten glass, born at 1500 degrees, bleeds vibrant hues onto sculpted copper, each wrinkle whispering a story of strength. Beyond mere beauty, Sherry's work is a defiant dance between fire and form. Each piece emerges from a multi-layered tango of artistry and chemistry. As molten glass meets metal, vibrant rivers of color erupt, each a unique signature of the fiery collaboration.
