The Bleeding Heart Bridge: Where the Dream Began…

The Bleeding Heart Bridge was the very first structure built at The Shape of Water Restaurant—our original labor of love.

Started in 2017, this hand-sculpted bridge took 500 hours to complete by just two people, using the intricate art of Faux Bois (false wood).

Every curve, groove, and detail was shaped by hand to blend nature and imagination into something truly magical. Layer by layer. This bridge is more than a structure… it’s the heart of a dream.
