Estimated Value: $700 In responding to the prompt of the show, I reflected on my personal and historical experience with love, practically and visually. The work is a self-portrait in a pink hue that references ancient Persian illustrations, particularly miniature illustrations and the stylization of the figure in these paintings, signified by the unibrow, hair, eyes and editing of my facial structure. I have a forward, to the side gaze, as if I am looking at someone or something. There is a sense of awe, a trance-like look on my face, in an attempt to capture the look of love on one’s face. My hand is touching my significant other's hand, which I have doubled and mirrored, overlapping with my face and forming a heart.
