Love hurts
30x40
This emotionally charged artwork, titled Love Hurts, is crafted from plastic, plaster, iron wire, and wood. The textured red surface evokes both passion and raw emotion—love in all its intensity. Suspended across the piece, the word Love appears delicate, almost tender, yet it is held by iron wires, cutting across the word like visible scars.
These wires symbolize the kind of pain that leaves marks not only on the surface, but deep within. Some scars, the work suggests, remain forever present and tangible.
Love Hurts speaks not only of romantic love, but of love in its broadest, most human sense: the ache of a separated parent saying goodbye to their child; the slow, helpless grief of watching someone you love fade away; the silent sorrow of missing someone every single day.
This piece is a reflection on how love and pain are often intertwined—and how, even when it hurts, love remains one of the most powerful forces shaping who we are.
