I have to admit this sculpture originally caught my eye because hearts are my favorite shape. After reading that the artist, Matthew Duffy, was inspired to create this stunning piece by his deep affection for his wife who was out of the country at the time, of course, I then admired it even more! Duffy designed the open-air heart with a computer program that uses advanced algorithms to reconstruct 3-D objects using only triangular planes. He experimented with several materials but chose the Aluminum Diamond Plate, as it adds contrasting textures and withstands harsh weather conditions. The artist wanted viewers to be able to look through the piece, so individual triangles were made using a water jet cutting machine. Welding the triangles together completed the brilliant 8ft x 8ft x 2.5ft piece of artwork. It is displayed in the center of the Bright Road roundabout at the intersection of SW Bright Road and SW Gator Blvd.
