A stark central field presents the word “LOVE” in bold, black, sans-serif lettering, set against a soft, textured white background. Beneath the letters, a simple line drawing of two hands clasped together quietly reinforces the word’s meaning—human connection reduced to its most minimal, universal form. This calm, open space is violently interrupted at its edges. From both the top and bottom, a dense mass of tightly packed, grotesque faces presses inward. Each face is uniquely distorted—bulging eyes, gaping mouths, warped expressions—yet together they merge into a single overwhelming surface of darkness. The forms are rendered in heavy monochrome, creating a suffocating visual weight that contrasts sharply with the clean centre. The boundary between these two worlds is uneven and raw, resembling a torn or burned edge. It suggests a fragile separation, as if the chaos is either being held back or steadily encroaching on the central space. The composition balances simplicity against relentless detail. From a distance, the message is immediate and clear. Up close, the surrounding mass reveals an intricate, almost infinite complexity. At its core, the piece holds a tension: a single, quiet idea of connection suspended between forces that threaten to overwhelm it.
