AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Love Destroyed

Technique: cracks made on plexiglass
Support: plexiglass and wood
Dimensions: 52 × 52 cm

Love Destroyed arises from transforming fragility into artistic matter.

On a plexiglass surface, the cracks propagate like wounds, fractures, and scars. At the center of the work emerges the word LOVE by Robert Indiana, recognizable yet deeply compromised: the letters seem to survive the break, traversed and deformed by a network of fractures.

The contrast between the black of the support and the white of the cracks represents the moment when something that appeared solid breaks. Love is not simply erased: it remains visible through its fractures, transforming into memory.

Plexiglass, a transparent and apparently resistant material, thus becomes a metaphor for the fragility of feelings. Each crack is a consequence, a choice, a wound; together they build a new image of love, imperfect but still recognizable.

The work invites reflection on a question: when love breaks, does it really disappear or does it remain forever in its scars?

Unique work framed with signature on the back, certificate of authenticity.
