Meatlove examines how contemporary culture packages and immobilizes emotions, despite their intrinsic instability. The gold slogan echoes the language of luxury branding, but clashes with the slowly shifting organic core. The work presents love as something we attempt to freeze — in symbols, in objects, in rituals — even though it continuously transforms, decays, and slips beyond containment. The sculpture holds this tension in a play of gloss, irony, and quiet dissonance.
Meatlove is a compact sculptural work that explores the boundary between affection, consumption, and the illusion of permanence. A heart-shaped mass of raw minced meat is suspended within a transparent resin block above a thin layer of vivid pink pigment. The sculpture rests on a white 3D-printed plinth bearing the phrase “Love Never Expires” in glossy gold lettering.
While the object suggests preservation and timelessness, it contains a quiet contradiction: even within airtight resin, the meat undergoes a slow, internal process of decomposition. These subtle, long-term changes—barely visible yet inevitable—undermine the coded promise of “no expiry.” The work thus becomes a paradoxical object that simulates eternity while betraying its own fragile materiality.
