I think that love is the most complex feeling; it can take you to the highest highs or plunge you into the deepest lows. I made this piece on Valentine’s Day; honestly, that day always irks me. I mean, all those cheesy images plastered everywhere? Not my thing. So, I decided to show the flip side of love—the one that stings, that turns your heart into an origami and makes it bleed. True love is smoothing the edges of the heart.
