Hearts in San Francisco

Here/Not Here

This giant fiberglass heart was painted by Lynne Rutter as part of the Hearts in San Francisco project. The two faces represent the moment just before and after death, and reflects on the loss of a close friend to AIDS.
This piece has been sold via auction to an anonymous collector. The money raised from this project benefits San Francisco General Hospital.
These pictures were taken at Crissy Field in July, 2004.
The heart also enjoyed some time in Civic Center Plaza during the summer.
