Loving Again

The last work depicts the relationship reconciliation phase: falling in love again and re-establishing the relationship. I will cut the silver chocolate brooch into two pieces and put them in the heart position over each wearer. This is a metaphor for sweet love that was once broken, but like a puzzle, it can be reconstituted, though there are cracks. This will address love's reconciliation like a riddle. When a relationship is broken, a sensation of bitterness dominates. I will also make two brooches on the back of the two models using white fishing line to connect them. Red rose petals will be decorated on the white threads, depending on the life cycle of the roses, it will go from fresh to decay. The fishing line with red rose addresses the experience and time cycle of the two individuals. Finally, I will interface the front brooch with a red rubber string to feature the emblematic relationship rebuilding. Couples can back together, and their relationships are mended again.
