With Love

The Forms of Attachment

Love exists as both tenderness and destruction. With Love, presents three sculptural figures—Limerence, Enclosure, and Detachment—exploring attachment through material behavior.

Limerence is cast in wax as a burnable candle; like obsessive longing, it consumes itself from within, melting to expose a broken heart at its core. Enclosure, formed in rockite resembling concrete, contains a heart embedded into its rotting core that can only be accessed by shattering the body, reflecting the self-destruction of love shaped by confinement. Detachment, cast in soap, slowly erodes through repeated use, revealing a healed heart as the body dissolves.

Each figure requires physical interaction, implicating the viewer in its undoing. Through acts of burning, breaking, and erosion, the figures make intimacy a process of undoing, where attachment is inseparable from damage and revelation.
