5 /5 Sergio Portillo: The Armoured Heart is a sculpture that is unavoidable to see if you are visiting Reading and walking right next to the river.
Even though it is just a "sculpture" it is a heart that was built with blades from all the knives that they have collected according to the information provided right next to the sculpture.
This is really interesting as normally no one would do much with the blades of knives but this was a really great way to reuse that material that was once used for violence to repurpose and reshape it into an Armoured Heart.
This sculpture is also located right next to the river and in an area full of shops, restaurants and bars.
