Heart, a photographic work by Ana Carey, draws on anatomical metaphor to explore the emotional weight of depression. Inspired by a line from a physiology textbook gifted by her grandmother, “The heart is a hollow organ”The image reflects a quiet stillness, where the hollow becomes a site of emotional compression. As in much of her practice, Carey blurs the boundary between body and psyche, offering a restrained but potent meditation on the architecture of internal states.
