RELATIONSHIPS
EXPLORING THE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND NATURE
THROUGH A COUPLE'S RELATIONSHIP
What is love? How many kinds of love exist? Can we call love the relationship between humans and nature?
"Oh, love is a journey with water and stars,
with drowning air and storms of flour;
love is a clash of lightnings,
two bodies subdued by one honey."
– Pablo Neruda, "Sonnet 12"
What Pablo Neruda wants to communicate is the amazing but intimidating and sometimes bitter feelings love can give to people.
I decided to combine these contrasting feelings into a series of four illustrations. The first two remind a grieving situation while the other two remind a balanced situation. These contrasting feelings are metaphorically represented by the relationship between a couple.
