My Hands Are My Heart is a terracotta sculpture bearing the impression of the artist's body. To create the sculpture, Orozco squeezed a ball of clay in the palms of his hands—the resulting shape resembled a heart. The photo reveals the process of its making and the artist is seen holding the sculpture close to his actual chest.
