The lock hart, how cool #ART LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED #lovelocks is also in the Dutch Caribbean
We all have seen it before!
The locks 🔒
People use it to express their love for a lovedone here or in heaven. It’s symbolic and I like it very much. Huge was the excitement to see it’s here aswell in an art piece.
Love is everywhere!
Location is water front side in Punda area at the end of the queen Emma bridge.
I wrote about this before in Theo’s blog.

The bridge connects the two parts of Willemstad. Otrabanda and Punda. The part where the 3 art harts are is in Punda.
Its done in many cities and places.
I saw it in Paris , London and Cologne. But now I saw it in Curaçao.
Locks on a bridge !
Well in this case there were taken off
The bridge and put beside the bridge on an art hart.
It’s art made by :
Carlos Blaaker
And it’s called :
PUNDA LOVE HARTS
It’s at the end of the bridge before walking into Willemstad city Center.
When you’ve see the harts on other bridges you immediately know what it is, and what it stands for.
This time it’s made into art. Lovely art in the shape of harts.
It’s cool to see that my mind works hive ways, because the lock first catching my eye is this one, #leofinance lock.
It’s part of the Punda Art walk. You walk along some of the most great pieces of art in the capital. Also th voluminous and voluptuous woman and icon Ichi. I will do a separate blog about these statues because that kind of art would be great as a role model on Instagram for instance. The curves and curves ladies in our society are a great sign. Again I will try to do another blog about her when I visited the museum of her founders. A wellknown artist couple here.
Back to this art piece and the locks. It’s been here since 2017 when the Punda vibes festival was here. In tradition of Love Locks and the fact that by showing your love with a lock with you and your loved name on it and lock it , you would stay together!
The idea is from WW2 and like I said before it’s still done in many cities in Europe.
Let me know if it’s done outside Europe aswell. This is the Dutch Caribbean, Dutch Antilles but maybe pinmapple could use more LoveLock cities and places.
And a hive redfish ehhh goldfish lock , yes guys hive is everywhere !

Should I start with : I am a Jessie? Hahah Goodmorning from Curaçao and thank you for the well wishes and for you and your lovedones, happy hivey new year May it be redharted and green priced
Hope your are well
I've seen locks on bridges in a few places. I think Kyiv was one of the first where I noticed it. I think it causes problems on some bridges, so it may be better to have specific places for it. Remember when people used to carve a heart on a tree? That wasn't so good for the tree.
Love is always good hahahah
No the bridges couldn’t hold the weights so i think this is a great solution
I've heard of these lock hearts in different places @brittandjosie but have never seen one yet.
It is a very cool way to exhibit free expression!
It’s very nice and now the love messages became art in a special wayang hartshaped , just beside the Bridge
