Love.Peace.Creativity

Title: Love.Peace.Creativity
Year: 2018
Artist: VanTsa, Lompoc, CA
Location: PJ’S Deli, 128 W College Ave on the south side of building.

Description: Centered are four nested hearts with several vines growing outward from within. A red heart shaped jewel sits centered on the outer most heart, shaped in the form of a rib cage. Two Blue mannequin hands are on either side of the nested hearts. These hands are in the position of the familiar Catholic Sacred Heart devotional image. A monarch butterfly rests on the peace sign hand. These pieces are backed by Pink & Purple Dahliaesque pedals bursting outward from the back of the nested hearts.

Meaning: ‘Love. Peace. Creativity’ (LPC) is an acronym for Lompoc. The disembodied hands are inspired by hip-hop group ‘Run the Jewels’ logo and the Catholic Sacred Heart devotional image. The hand positioned in a closed peace sign gesture with a monarch butterfly sitting upon it serves as a reminder to keep our wits and to be at peace while we navigate through lifes challenges. We’ll lose direction in our journey, the other hand points to the nested heart. The sacred nested heart represents home, growth, security, and perspective. The pedals are creativity in full bloom.
