‘This installation is how I envision love. Amid what seems like countless identical rocks, we find one that is meant for us. We choose it as much as it chooses us. The rock becomes our canvas, our new home. By nurturing it we elevate it and it elevates us.
Creating it took 4 trips to this little uninhabited island in the middle of the Aegean sea, and a lot of work under the greek sun and windy atmosphere. It is a practice that will forever be ongoing, as I will always have to go back and add layers of gold leaf to maintain it and perfect it.
I wanted to put myself in the position of finding something to care for, fall in love with and with time and effort, transform it and be transformed by it.
By creating this installation, I put myself through the process of understanding the stages of Love, and as a result, building a place for the audience to reflect on this universal notion.’
