A meditation on the frailty and the strength of the human heart. Medications can place the heart in a cage, swaying to the rhythms of the body around it, like a gimble holding level on rough seas. Or a heart can beat out of control through fear, anger or love.
Anatomical illustrations from Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani, 1747 by Bernhard Albinus.
