Begin with the image, then return to the label, material, scale, duration, and collection context. The work becomes clearer as these clues begin to connect.
Look With This WorkSweetness, melting, and the image of love

The work moves love away from advertising language and turns it into a physical process: softening, staining, dissolving, and disappearing.
