Love and Lust

LOVE AND LUST

Love and Lust collection explores the hidden meaning in both of these strong emotions. The foundation of love and its mysterious language. The allure of lust and the ambiguous attraction.

The collection is in the theme of Valentine’s Day with inspiration from great artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Botticelli and Henri Fuseli.

In this collection Monica asks the important question of

Who do you lust for?

Whom do you love?

She explores the underlying meanings of these complex questions to provide some self-reflected answers.

What Is This Feeling?

The first in the series explores the basic question. That strange unexplained feeling of what is love?

Tiny dots on top of tiny dots adorn the background in a grid like pattern. The dots that are found all throughout the series were inspired by the works of renown artist Yayoi Kusama. The blue gown that adorns the figure represents the feeling of swimming in the emotions.
