Corpus cordis — Wearable Artifact
Forged at the intersection of emotion and machine logic, Corpus cordis embodies the anatomy of feeling — a crystalline heart suspended between tenderness and tensile strength. Its bifurcated form emerges from algorithmic growth, where digital veins weave into a fragile symmetry that recalls both organic tissue and synthetic mesh.
Each structure is 3D printed in translucent crimson resin, hand-pigmented to evoke living matter under light — pulsating, refracting, and revealing its coded lattice in shifting depths of red. The piece rests on a heavy, platinum-plated brass chain, contrasting the delicacy of the heart with the solidity of metal — a study in vulnerability armored by design.
More than adornment, Corpus cordis is a fragment of speculative anatomy — a relic of a post-biological organism whose emotions crystallize into structure.
