Love Me Nots

Love Me Nots is a mixed media sculpture created with acrylic rods that act as stems while broken glass act as petals. Glued together they create a patch of wildflowers on a hill of cement guarded by a crown of barbed wire. These flowers, called Love Me Nots, mimics Forget-Me-Not flowers and the “he loves me, he loves me not” flower picking game. This piece depicts the risk that people take knowing that they can hurt themselves on the obviously fragmented “petals”, and therefore giving into their disastrous desire that will leave them hoping for something that might be unattainable.
