World's Tallest Heart-Shaped Sculpture Installed in Florida

A heart-shaped sculpture, the tallest of its kind in the world, is being installed in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The installation of the sculpture, titled 'Heart in the Garden,' began on Valentine's Day in 2023. The seven-story structure is made from stainless steel.

The latest component, which is the heaviest part of the sculpture weighing 60,000 pounds, was recently delivered. The artist, Filipino-American Jeffre Figueras Manuel, known as JEFRË, and his team are designing the 22-meter tall sculpture, which they claim will be the tallest heart-shaped structure in the world.

Manuel has created artworks across the globe, including in the United States, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. His notable works include the 'Gates of Heaven' in Manila and 'Reflection' at Unity Plaza in Philadelphia.

The sculpture will be situated on a circular pedestal with a diameter of 30 feet, and its surface will be illuminated with LED lights.
