The more rationally expressed human heart, creating limbs and a neck for the figure to emanate from.
The use of props at his rear an admission of his unstable state, the human emotional condition seen as being both hopeful and fragile in the same instance.
The existing trainer clad wooden limbs are non integral to the heart form, mere additions which prop against it, suggesting a lack of movement but also a set position which serves its emotional goals and needs.
The personality of love made visible in the assured posture of its questionable legs, the life and energy which is subtly expressed in the direct facial features.
