HeartCore

HeartCore Love is brutal. Beautiful. A rollercoaster ride of paradox emotions. From lush forests of fiery passion to deserted quicksand of fearful despair; my love relationship has been a merge of delightful joie de vivre and hurtful self-questioning over my own sanity for staying with the man that hurt me so much. Adrenaline rushes, screams of joy and excitement in one moment, only to feel sick and nauseous from the whirls in the next. “HeartCore” is a series of conceptual self-portraits and portraits of my ex-partner, illustrating the range of ambiguous emotions I experienced in our love relationship. During our six years together we lived the full spectrum: from happiness to sadness, passion to rejection, tenderness to aggression. This visual relationship diary has helped me forgive, heal, let go of the past, and move on.
