The work is part of the project This Is Not Love, What You Did, an installation composed of 393.62 meters of love that explores the complexity and contradictions of this feeling, questioning what we are used to calling “love”. Each heart is a fragment of this journey. It is not a decorative element, but a presence charged with experience: it encompasses a gesture, a memory, a wound or a possibility. It stems from a simple and unresolved question: what do we truly mean when we talk about love?
This is not love, what you did is not just a statement, but a starting point. Each work is located in that unstable space where love defines and contradicts itself. Some hearts guard the fragility of tenderness, others bear the marks of loss; still others experience waiting, desire, irony or disillusionment. Each represents an emotional position, a precise moment within a broader map.
