"Where is our heart?" - A story about looking for human identity

I am looking for the heart. Want to know the shape of it. My search begins.
I can feel it.
The heart is pulsating and vibrating like neon paint.
At the same time, it is surrounded by the calm body like sand. What is the shape of my heart - and yours?
I am searching.
We are searching.
We notice, there is no specific shape of your hearts.
There are many different shapes - different like you and me. Courage, liveliness, grief, standstill, death.

DESCRIPTION:

The prose emphasizes that there is no uniform form of the heart. Instead, there are many different forms, as diverse as people themselves (“different like you and me”). This symbolizes the diversity of human feelings, identities, and experiences, including death. The mention of "courage, aliveness, sadness, stagnation, death" highlights the different states a heart can go through. This reinforces the idea that the heart (figuratively speaking) experiences various emotional phases and states, all of which are integral to human existence.

The use of "I" and "we" in the story illustrates that the search for the heart is both a personal and shared experience. This suggests that we are all seeking our own essence while simultaneously longing for a connection with others.

The description of the heart as "pulsating and vibrating like neon paint" and "surrounded by a still body like sand" underscores the intensity and vibrancy of emotions, often concealed beneath an outward appearance of calm or stability.

The paintings conclude the prose. Their abstract nature reflects the message of the prose: our differences, but also our shared humanity, coexist in harmony.
