The work is part of the project This Is Not Love, What You Did, an installation consisting 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 laden with experience: it contains a gesture, a memory, a wound, or a possibility. It stems from a simple and unresolved question: what do we really mean when we speak of love?
This is not love, what you did is not just a statement, but a starting point. Each work is situated in that unstable space where love defines and contradicts itself. Some hearts hold the fragility of tenderness, others bear the marks of loss; still others traverse anticipation, desire, irony, or disillusionment. Each represents an emotional position, a precise moment within a broader map.
