HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Rupert Garcia's Elan Vital appropriately decorates the lobby of The Kaiser Hospital in San Francisco where heart surgery is performed. The fiber-glass heart sculpture is 5 feet tall, 5 feet 9 inches wide and 3 feet 3 inches thick. It was created as part of 'Hearts in San Francisco'.
Hearts in San Francisco is a Bay Area-wide "heart installation" that debuted in the spring of 2004. While similar to Chicago's "Cows on Parade," the San Francisco version uses a heart icon, appropriate for a city that is recognized for its acceptance and tolerance, as well as being perennially open-hearted. The goal of this project is to become a unique hybrid of fund-raising, compassionate community involvement, and a positive nurturing of artistic expression at a time when it is sorely needed. The financial beneficiary of Hearts in San Francisco is the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation, whose sole purpose is to fund projects that will enhance patient care and comfort at San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center (SFGH). New hearts are added each year, including table-top hearts if you want one to decorate your own home.
