MEIN ANGST — The Heart
This work began and ended with a real, physical heart — chosen for its closeness to the human one and its uncompromising presence. Removed from any metaphor and shown as flesh, it confronts the viewer with the bodily origins of fear: the place where emotion becomes physical. By presenting the heart plainly, it reveals fear as something that lives inside us long before we give it a name. It stands in contrast to the unseen anxieties that occupy the mind, forming one half of a dialogue about how fear manifests — one part tangible, one part invisible.
