The Heart Remembers | Egyptian Watercolour Canvas Print by Alexandra Adams
Before We Forgot Collection
Some knowledge lives beyond language.
It settles quietly within us—beneath reason, beneath memory—waiting to be recognised rather than learned. A feeling of familiarity when we encounter symbols older than recorded history. A sense that certain truths have always been known.
Created from an original photograph captured by Alexandra Adams, this artwork has been transformed through a contemporary watercolour process, preserving the reverence of the original object while inviting a more intimate and contemplative encounter.
At the centre of this ancient-inspired bust rests a small heart, flanked by sacred birds, human figures and timeless symbols. Together, they speak of devotion, balance and the enduring relationship between intellect and intuition.
Part of the Before We Forgot Collection, The Heart Remembers reflects on the possibility that wisdom is not always something we acquire. Sometimes, it is something we return to.
As modern society turns its attention toward questions of consciousness, intelligent life and our place within a vast and mysterious universe, this piece gently asks another question:
What if the answers we seek are not entirely new?
What if the deepest truths about compassion, interconnectedness and the sacred nature of existence have always been carried quietly within the human heart?
The Heart Remembers is an invitation to trust the quiet knowing that cannot always be explained.
To honour intuition alongside intellect.
And to remember that perhaps the oldest form of intelligence is love itself.
Before we forgot, we understood that wisdom was not held only in the mind. It lived in the heart.

The Before We Forgot Story
Before We Forgot is a collection of original photographs transformed into contemporary watercolour artworks that honour the intelligence, spirituality and symbolic richness of ancient civilisations. Inspired by enduring questions of consciousness, remembrance and humanity’s place within the cosmos, each piece invites us to reconnect with truths that transcend time.
Because perhaps the greatest wisdom is not discovering something new—
but remembering what has always been there.
