A set of 5 monochrome soapstone hearts, about 2 inches each, with assorted graphic patterns. They are carved, polished, and painted by a team of artisans in Kisii, Kenya.
The smooth, cool soapstone and the rounded heart shape sit easily in the palm. Grounding-oriented profiles are characterized by a need for continuous, familiar, or consistent somatosensory information to stay aware of the physical body and the present moment (Dunn, 2001). A smooth carved stone best fits the preference for carrying an object and rubbing or handling it. Objects like this offer continuous somatosensory input through surface texture, geometry, and thermal properties (McGlone et al., 2014), and consistent input helps people with low registration remain physically oriented within their environment (Dunn, 2001).
