You will notice everyone has different idea when you talk about “love”.
I think it depends on how you feel
about the subject.
When I hear the word “love,” the first thing that comes to mind is beautiful scenery.
To me, it is synonymous with
a beautiful thing that is rational and moral. However, when I considered how to represent that word in a photograph,
I wanted to use a picture to portray
the instinctive desire and raw emotion,
the ugliness at the root of it.

“The relationship between men & women,
hunger & lust”
In today’s world, discussion from a dualistic perspective has perhaps become a bit of
a tired subject.
Be that as it may, there is a slight difference between the male-female and hunger-lust relationships.
When a man becomes hungry, that desire is accompanied with increased sexual yearning.
When a woman becomes full,
her lust increases once satisfied.
This happens because the man’s libido is
adjacent to his hunger nerve center,
while in a woman, the libido is located next to
the nerve center for satiation.
I would like you to keep this in mind as you look
at these photos once again. Your feelings will
differ depending on whether you are hungry or not.
And your feelings will also depend on
whether you are a man or woman,
or perhaps even a different gender.
