February Porfolio


Of Drawings and Love

Forbidden love. You lock up your heart, afraid to get hurt by the consequences that goes with love. Forbidden to love. Many drawings can symbolize many different meanings. You can sketch something based on our life, yet what do the drawings mean. If you lock up your love and are forbidden to love how is that drawn?

A locked heart with a key and a rose on top encasing it with thorny vines. What is it about? A rose, a delicate and beautiful flower that is used to express love. Yet that its grown with thorns to keep the rose untouched. The heart, the most used a known symbol for love. The heart can be reached and fall in love but it can also be kept away, untouched. Locked away to be unseen, to not be taken away are some of the meanings a lock and key resemble. The lock on the heart entrapped in vines with a rose in key. What does it signify? The rose and heart are the love of a person yet it cannot be reached. The lock and key keep it away and the vines hold it tightly from being opened. Prohibited to  be opened. Love that wants to be loved yet cannot be reached, forbidden.

Yet the vines can wilt away exposing the heart, making it vulnerable. To take away the uncertainty and to not be forbidden. The mind doesn't know yet the heart does. You start out wanting so much love when your young yet once you get heartbroken you tense up and lock you heart away. As you grow you see all this love around you and open up little by little and eventually fall in love again, this time you don't get hurt.
