“ONE MAN ONE HEART” BY DEAN AVISAR FEATURES A GRID OF BLUE-TONED CYANOTYPE PANELS, EACH UNIQUE IN TEXTURE AND COMPOSITION, REMINISCENT OF A PATCHWORK. THIS PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTING PROCESS, PRODUCING CYAN-BLUE PRINTS, SUGGESTS INDIVIDUALITY WITHIN UNIFORMITY, POSSIBLY ALLUDING TO THE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITHIN COLLECTIVE EXISTENCE.

THE TITLE SPEAKS TO A FUNDAMENTAL UNITY OF HUMANITY—A SHARED HEART WITHIN EACH PERSON. GIVEN AVISAR’S ENGAGEMENT WITH KABBALISTIC STUDIES, EACH PANEL MIGHT REPRESENT A SOUL OR ASPECT OF THE SPIRITUAL HUMAN CONDITION, DEMONSTRATING INTERCONNECTEDNESS. THE BLUE HUES EVOKE THE SKY AND SEA, SYMBOLIZING DEPTH, INFINITY, AND THE SUBCONSCIOUS.

AVISAR’S BACKGROUND IN FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY AND HIS SPIRITUAL JOURNEY THROUGH KABBALAH INFORM THE WORK’S AESTHETIC. THE PANELS CAN BE SEEN AS WINDOWS OR PORTALS INTO DIFFERENT SPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS OR EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPES. HIS TRANSITION FROM CAPTURING EPHEMERAL BEAUTY TO SEEKING PROFOUND CONNECTIONS IS REFLECTED IN THE UNIFORM YET UNIQUE PANELS.

THIS JUXTAPOSITION SERVES AS A VISUAL METAPHOR FOR AVISAR’S BELIEF IN ART’S TRANSFORMATIVE POWER TO ELEVATE THE EVERYDAY AND FIND UNITY IN DIVERSITY. THE LARGE WHITE FRAME REINFORCES THE IDEA OF UNITY AND CONNECTEDNESS, SUGGESTING DISTINCT INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES AS PART OF A COHESIVE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

THE SERIES INVITES VIEWERS TO REFLECT ON THEIR INDIVIDUALITY AND THEIR ROLE IN THE COLLECTIVE HUMAN HEART—SHARED EXPERIENCES, EMOTIONS, AND SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS THAT BIND PEOPLE TOGETHER.
