Love is Blinding

Project type

Poster

Date

January 2024

Location

New York

This poster features a design of René Magritte's "The Lovers," as well as a poem by an unknown author, “To ask me if I miss her, would be like asking the stars if they miss the night, asking the sun if it missed its warmth, or asking the ocean if it missed the rivers that give it life. I’ve seen the most beautiful flowers, but they all smell the same. I got to see the most beautiful places in the world, but the wind winded same everywhere. Only in your presence, the wind whispered a fragrance to the flower, a scent untold in other places. I could recognize you in total darkness, where you mute and I deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime, entirely in different bodies, different times, and I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt into oblivion. They ask, do you love her to death? I say, speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life.” Also featured in this poster is a design of a "blind eye" and a design of the sheet that covers "the lovers." Love is often based on idealization. In the early phases of falling in love, you put your partner on a pedestal and imagine that they are the most perfect person in the world, at least for you. Even after the honeymoon phase of a relationship, we want to think the best of our partners and turn a blind eye to their imperfections.
