My English Heart explores identity and inequality through layers of British headlines on the Queen, justice, and race. The heart—symbol of the nation, beats with both pride and pain. Using media as material, the work exposes disparities within the NHS and beyond, reflecting the duality of love for a country that doesn’t always love you back. It is both a tribute and a reckoning.
