« The cardiovascular system is a key element in transporting and exchanging substances between the environment and the cells that function in tissues. Cardio is from the Greek word ‘kardia’, meaning heart, and ‘vascular’ is from the Latin word vasculum, meaning vessel. To the ancient Egyptians, the heart was the seat of emotion, thought, will and intention. The ‘Arteries and Veins’ work (a collection of mixed media paintings and jewelry) is an exorcism of my fears. By weaving and puzzling the threads and the yarns, feelings of strong will and determination arise and travel through my mind projecting positive energy and great strength , the strength of Margarita, who fought and won death. » Yiota Vogli

« When love makes this sound baby
A heart needs a second chance
Don’t put me down babe
Can’t you see I love you
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don’t say it’s over I just can’t say goodbye »
