WaterfallLove House

About this work

WaterfallLove House speaks about how the mind can interpret love. All of us receive some type of love in life. Whether the love presented to us is genuine or fake is not always easy to determine. According to popular writings, Abraham Lincoln said "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." When we apply Lincoln's quote to untrustworhy types of love we eventually have a traumatic experience to build on. The crux of this matter is not whether the show of affection was "true" or not, the main issue is what we ourselves believe about that. If we have true love for ourselves, we can adapt to the unhappy experience and move on, but if we have insecurity about our own indentity, we might then build a house of suspicion in our minds. We might apply this incident of what we perceive as fake devotion to the next time an attempt for attachment arises and then view genuine tenderness with mistrust. Unfortunately the result of our "building a negative house thinking" will cause that we reject real affection and the same unhappy incident will happened.

WaterfallLove is an artwork which represents genuine trustworthy love that can be poured into our lives and completely wash away the old wariness for adoration.
