HEARTS4
IT ALL STARTED
WITH A SIMPLE SKETCH
While studying the blockchain in 2016 for a finance brand identity inspired using hand drawings and drafting to illustrate this invisible underlying technology. With so many use cases for blockchain a heart cube with two holes through it did not work for a financial start up logo. So it stayed trapped in the pages of a sketchbook.
"Love is more than a connection between two people; it's a profound feeling that resonates through every interaction. It's the symmetry of the heart, reflecting its better half – a union that transcends romance. Love is the thread that weaves through our existence, binding us to people, passions, and principles."
IT'S ALL ABOUT
SCALE
Hearts4's magic lies in its scalability, making it an irresistible artistic concept. As designers and artists, we know the creative process starts with a thought, explored on paper, prototyped visually, and sometimes developed into dimensional maquettes. From architects' scale models to graphic designers' scalable logos and icons, Hearts4 excels. It scales effortlessly in size, materials, quantity, and conceptual reach, transforming into monumental sculptures or delicate jewelry. This versatility amplifies Hearts4's impact, spreading love and connection far and wide.
UNITING A HEART BLOCK
The Hearts4 object represents harmony and two uniting as one in a final state we call love. Hearts symbolize love and compassion, while the cube represents visual truth. As a powerful, cube-shaped icon, Hearts4 combines these elements, serving as a metaphor for decentralized networks and the profound interconnections that unite all hearts. Hearts4 embodies a universal symbol of love and truth.
VIRTUALLY UNLEASHING REALITY
2020 marked a pivotal milestone during the pandemic, Hearts4 evolved through meticulous 3D modeling and rendering explorations and iterations, illustrating a wild imagination. Following a year of envisioning scale, materials, and installations, working in series transformed the singular work into a larger narrative exploring connection, unity, and imagination. This expansion opens doors to showcasing samples and inspiring collaborations with brands, charities, and exhibitions in institutions.
