Shot through the heart: when it comes to expressing love, only art can do it justice
Briefly

The article discusses the lack of formal study on love in educational institutions despite its significance as a universal force. It highlights how art can articulate and explore love's complexities, using examples from renowned artists like Frida Kahlo and Felix Gonzalez Torres. Kahlo’s painful experiences led her to create self-portraits that resonate with themes of love and suffering. Torres’ work symbolizes the fragility of love through synchronized clocks, emphasizing that while love can be gentle, it can also be transient and susceptible to fate.
Art can transport us to youthful memories, hold up a mirror to our lives and remind us of love's sacredness.
