HeartMe art exhibition

Explore a wall of hearts in the city

Born from a moment of global disconnection, HEARTME Collective is the creation of Western Australian artist Erica Allia, who rediscovered painting during the stillness of the COVID-19 pandemic while living in Bali. What began with a single heart painted late at night soon grew into a daily practice and a way of exploring humanity, compassion, belonging and the invisible threads that connect us.

Erica realised that each heart carried its own story, energy and meaning. From that came a powerful idea: 265 individual hearts, each painted by hand, coming together as one collective artwork. The result is the Wall of Hearts, a vibrant, immersive celebration of individuality, unity and hope.

For the first time, the full collection is being launched and exhibited in Erica’s home city of Perth.
