The donated work of art is 140-pounds and made from pieces of the old Saint John Jail. It took Richard Arsenau over 300 hours to create the piece. "What inspired me about this was just the fact that the human torso kind of reminded me of the shape of a heart, so I decided to blend the two together in both the human heart and the human torso."
Called "The Heart Prevails", Arsenau says it represents how the heart and soul can overcome adversity.
The sculpture can be seen in the main lobby of the Saint John Regional Hospital.
