Touch
“One of the great
biology is why the experience of pain is so subjective. Being able to withstand
pain depends to a considerable extent on culture and tradition.”

Pain is a
very complex experience. We all go through various forms from physically to
emotionally. In this piece red was used to symbolize blood while blue represents
the emotional side of pain. The finger draws towards the flame which is purple.
Both are very real which we all experience every day.

‘We play at devouring
each other, digesting each other, we nurse each other, drink each other’s
fluids, actually get under each other’s skin. Kissing we share one breath, open
the sealed fortress of our body to our lover. We shelter under a warm net of
kisses.”

When one thinks of a symbol of love one will often think of
a rose. It embodies the sense of passion as we often give those, we care for
flowers to show our affection and gratitude. As there are many colors to the
rose the more iconic is the red rose.
