Treasure of the heart, symbol of love, message of universality, celebration of humanity, the expression “itai dôshin”
means “the same heart in different bodies”.
It is therefore a unity based on respect for the diversity and unique qualities of each individual. But how do you discover the specificity of a person?

This is why the same vibration animates this radiant heart and the multitude of bodies gathered in the lower part of the work. A soft luminosity emanates from the depth of the seven layers of fused glass delicately playing on the relationship between transparency and color, underlining the pure and intense form of the composition, the moving beauty of this beating heart, encouraging one to let oneself be penetrated by this invitation to collaborate respectfully and spontaneously in the common ideal of respect for life.
