A Community Heart by Edwin Gil
Where courage, hope, and community become a source of healing.
The Heart of Carolina Breast Friends is a tribute to courage, transformation, hope, and the extraordinary strength found in community.
Created as part of Gil Project’s Community Hearts initiative, this anatomical heart brings together delicate pink butterflies, golden Kintsugi-inspired details, and the image of a home—symbols of transformation, healing, and the importance of having a place where we feel supported, understood, and welcomed.
The butterflies represent the journey through change: the vulnerability of transformation, the courage required to move forward, and the beauty that can emerge along the way.
The golden details reflect the philosophy behind The Heart Series—that our experiences, including the most difficult ones, become part of who we are. Rather than hiding our scars, we can honor them as part of our journey toward healing and renewal.
The image of a home symbolizes something equally meaningful: a place of comfort, compassion, and belonging. It reminds us that healing is not always a journey we must navigate alone.
At the heart of this artwork is a simple belief: no one should have to face a difficult journey without support.
Inspired by The Territories of Healing and Belonging, this Community Heart celebrates Carolina Breast Friends and its commitment to providing connection, encouragement, and a supportive community for those affected by breast cancer.
Art with a purpose.
A limited edition of 100 authorized reproductions is available to collectors and community supporters. 50% of eligible reproduction sales supports Carolina Breast Friends, helping extend its mission and positive impact within our community.
By collecting The Heart of Carolina Breast Friends, you are bringing more than a piece of art into your home. You are celebrating courage, honoring resilience, supporting community, and becoming part of a shared story of hope and compassion.
One Heart. One Community. Stronger Together.
Because belonging can also mean finding a place—and people—who remind us that we are not alone.
The heart is a territory to discover.
