Eyes Wide Shut
This photographic series was taken in the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá outside Bogotá, Colombia, in collaboration with artist Alex Sastoque – the most renowned living artist of Colombia. We traveled two miles deep into the earth where we proceeded to paint the woman featured in the photograph while local shamans were creating prayers and offerings for our visit to the Cathedral. The eyes painted above the woman’s eyes are to suggest that even with our eyes closed, we are always seeing, always looking, always aware. The golden sheen on her hands and accents on her neck are to remind us that our bodies are precious temples and that as human beings we hold the power of free will and alchemy.
Unique edition. Love traveled to Bogotá, Colombia, where she took this photograph. Throughout her career, Love has maintained that art can transform even raw emotion into something beautiful, something inherently powerful. This picture helps to tell a story of global politics, human relations, spirituality and abstraction, as key themes that run through Love’s work.
