The Glass Heart...

Before heading to a West London Hash in the evening, I visited Two Temple Place to see an exhibit called The Glass Heart. The gothic mansion was built in 1895 as offices and a flat for William Waldorf Astor, founder of the famed Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. It is now a public art gallery, 

The exhibit explored glass throughout the ages...
…in the perfect setting as the building had a lot of stained glass.
Matters of the Heart
This piece expresses the idea that: “Between birth and death there are only precious present moments encompassing love, joy, passion, strength, courage, wisdom, humor, generosity, creativity, freedom and, of course, their opposites.”
The Soil
This piece highlights the climate crisis: “The urinating female gardener is replenishing the topsoil that is fast being dangerously depleted.”
