The Dripping Heart is the three-dimensional embodiment of one of the most iconic symbols in Alvin's creative world. Like a glass of water that can be seen as "half full" or "half empty," the heart can drip in different ways: it may drip from pain or overflow with passion. The intensity of its drops depends on the observer, reflecting the emotions of those who gaze upon it: will it drip from love or from sorrow?  The meaning is left to each individual to interpret.
