About love

In this work, love is shown as an attraction to someone who does not reciprocate. The figures are close to each other, even touching, yet their closeness does not become a harmonious union. The blue character appears tense and fragile, while the pink figure seems self-sufficient and assertive. Their difference is obvious, but it is precisely this difference that becomes the source of attraction. The work speaks about a state in which a person continues to reach toward another despite clear signals of distance. Here, love is tied to the stubborn desire to get closer to someone who remains unattainable and emotionally detached.
