John Derian 'Red Heart Kite' Paperweight, 9cm

Lightness, caught and held. The Heart Kite Paperweight by John Derian captures a fleeting moment; a simple heart-shaped kite drifting against an open sky. There is movement here, gently stilled beneath layers of decoupage. Handmade in New York City, the piece carries both clarity and charm. It rests easily on a desk or table, bringing with it a sense of air and joy. A paperweight, perhaps, but also a reminder of something lighter.
