The Measure Of Love is an artwork that explores the concept of love in contemporary society. It cleverly employs measuring tools to reveal a disturbing trend: love is gradually being materialised and quantified through the sizing of objects that symbolise love. In an intuitive way, the work asks the viewer to consider the question: in this material and digital age, can we really measure love through a ruler? Are we actually measuring the depth of love, or are we inadvertently compressing its meaning?
Through the power of metaphor, the work reveals the shallowness and fragility of people's understanding of love in modern society. When love is forced into the framework of scales and standards, its essence is distorted and diluted. The work also emphasises a never-ending desire and the pursuit of perfect love, even though these measurements often fail to touch the true substance of love.
The Measure Of Love invites viewers to re-examine their perceptions of love, challenging social trends that attempt to measure love in terms of numbers, material goods and outward appearances. Ultimately, the work leads us to reflect: when we turn love into an object that can be quantified, have we lost sight of that priceless emotion that should originally belong to love?
