$HEART (she_art) embodies the invisible yet powerful connections that unite us all. At its core, it expresses love, empathy, and compassion—qualities that transcend boundaries and resonate deeply within us. Love, in its purest form, is the essence of art, and $HEART (she_art) brings that truth to life. By fusing the heart symbol with the US dollar sign, the artwork reveals a profound truth: our hearts are our greatest asset, and true wealth lies in the connections we nurture. It invites us to listen to our hearts, live authentically, and challenge the narratives that shape us.
 
With its bold, graphic design and pop art aesthetic, $HEART (she_art) stands as a contemporary monolith—celebrating the simplicity and depth of the heart and the dollar sign. Since February 2024, I’ve been projecting $HEART (she_art) across various outdoor spaces in Harlem, NYC, transforming the city’s landscape into a living, breathing work of art. Whether illuminating a building's facade or spilling across the branches of a tree, the symbol harmonizes with the city’s rhythm. Each projection offers a fresh experience, inviting spontaneous conversations and fostering genuine connections that uplift the community. It’s a dynamic, living meme—engaging and challenging us to reflect, laugh, and reimagine the way we think about love, value, and connection.
 
The energy of these projections flows into the print version, where the artwork continues to pulse. The black background represents pure potential, offering limitless space for growth, creation, and transformation. In print, $HEART (she_art) grounds that dynamic energy, inspiring and uplifting in any space.
 
Available in seven colors, each representing one of the seven chakras, $HEART (she_art) connects with the body’s vital energy centers. The colors are more than just hues—they reflect the emotional and spiritual energies that guide us:
Red: Representing the root chakra, it grounds us in stability, security, and connection to the Earth.
Orange: The sacral chakra, bringing creativity, emotional balance, and passion.
Yellow: Symbolizing the solar plexus chakra, this color empowers personal strength, confidence, and willpower.
Green: The heart chakra, inviting love, compassion, and healing energy into our lives.
Blue: The throat chakra, supporting self-expression, communication, and truth.

Each color resonates with a specific aspect of your being, inviting harmony and self-awareness. Choose the color that speaks to your spirit, or embrace the full spectrum to honor the complete balance of emotional and spiritual vitality.
