Lov Couple is a public art sculptural composition dedicated to the innate human values of undivided love, unconditional peace, and attainable freedom.
Featuring two altered human figures, each missing the ¼ part of their upper torso, the work alludes to humanity’s shared joy, sorrow, and regeneration from world’s military conflicts and in particular, to the ¼ population loss in the artist’s native Paless’e marshlands during world war.
Carrying abstracted feminine and masculine characteristics, the figures represent friends, partners, nuclear family and broader humanity. Carved out torsos imply the ‘inhuman texture’ in social interrelations while serving as the fertile ground for reclaiming the natural spiritual worldview of the artist’s Dryhva people of the swamps’ ancestral culture.
Installed at the historic site of Small Collect Pond and African Burial Ground in lower Manhattan’s Civic Center, the sculpture draws parallels to the ongoing struggle of ancestral cultures of Americas and the world to animate the soaring qualities of the human spirit, contentment, and collective ability to heal and thrive together as individuals, species and communities.
