Chicken Eggshells on a Wooden Round 13" x 13" Exposed is a sculpture of an anatomically correct human heart built from white egg shells, adhesive and wire. This work was created to portray the symptom of extreme sensitivity in borderline personality disorder. Every feeling, every thought is to the extreme. It is black or it is white, there is no in between. Relationships between family, friends or spouses, with a person diagnosed with BPD have been commonly described as “walking on eggshells”. The use of the broken white eggshells insinuates broken innocence, a loss of purity and perfection. Rebuilt but left vulnerable and fragile, never again whole.
