What Real Love Looks Like

We're all so used to the grandiose tales of love in the movies -- running through a crowded airport, sending love letters every single day for ten years, leaving one's entire life behind -- that anything less than trial by combat just seems lazy.

But Korean artist "Puuung" is intent on changing that narrative. "Love is something that everybody can relate to. And Love comes in ways that we can easily overlook in our daily lives. So, I try to find the meaning of love in our daily lives and make it into artwork," she writes.

    It didn't have to be descriptive. Love looks like wind does. You have to be there to know it. Some will bend a leaf, will unexplicably do a sonic wave. On others it's just the motion of the clothes, the hair around the ear.
    On other's there's a story of wind in barren patterns the artist might not even know they are maps.

    Lastly, there's the painting with no indication of wind, and you just forget about it. Although it takes a while to remember.

      Few things can bring me to tears - but those illustrations did. The best memories of love are in the simple connections - not the grand gestures.

      Very nice!

      Is this what is meant by the term, ''claptrap?' I'm just wonderin' . . . . . . .

        Joe,

        Those are absolutely fantabulous!

        I loved them. Excellent find!

        They remind me of when I was interviewed back in Texas, and I was asked, "Terra, to you, what is the color of love?" and I replied, "Love is not just one color as it has many depths and phases. It's like seeing an oil slick after the rain, with all of the colors all swirled together."

        You know, something like this...

    Hmm, the girl in the picture seems really needy lol

    *ducks*

    Just sayin'. She's a good artist, but I don't think that's what love actually looks like.

    I think it's what some dude that was infatuated with her looks like.

    In her Grafolio there were only a couple of her admiring her dude.

    Real love goes both ways.

      Not if she took lessons from Frank!

      If so, she's merely showing everyone...
      It's all about me!

    I think, love is something strange that people can't live without love.
