This piece is an oversized rose made entirely out of cardboard. When creating this artwork, I thought a lot about love as a burden. Love can be so big and overwhelming and take up so much time and energy it can become burdening.
The images show the progression of love. At first, love is a beautiful joy. As time passes, love becomes a big part of one’s life taking up a lot of time and space. Finally, love has to take a backseat in life. It’s removed from the spotlight and integrated into life.
