My Heart Will Beat for You presents new wo rk by Connecticut-born artist Traé\; Brooks\, whose multidisciplinar y practice explores identity\, memory\, spirituality\, and the ways we car ry personal and collective grief. Through paintings\, sculptural objects\, writings\, and video installations\, Brooks reflects on how loss transfor ms us\, reshaping the stories we hold\, the bonds we form\, and the ways w e move through the world. What began as a tribute to his grandmother has g rown into an expansive meditation on all the lives that leave an imprint - family\, friends\, brief encounters\, and ancestors alike. In this exhibi tion\, Brooks considers both intimate mourning and the larger currents of collective grief shaped by violence\, injustice\, and global upheaval. His works become vessels for remembrance\, resilience\, and the ongoing act o f rebuilding the self. Visitors are invited to experience the gallery as a ritual space\, with opportunities to contribute writings\, names\, or sma ll offerings to a living\, evolving memorial. Together\, these gestures tr ansform the ArtWalk into a shared site of reflection\, honoring the ways m emory endures and the many hearts that continue to shape us.
