The Couple (Diptych)

About The Couple (Diptych)

The Couple ( Diptych ) is a work of great poetic dimension, representing the sacredness of marriage and the social expectations that unfold through the act of marriage; together they weave a narrative between the feminine domestic sphere, the masculine dominating view world and the historical stereotypes that keep repeating.
The artwork is created using carefully selected colours and materials full of collective symbolism and meaning. The white cotton represents the bride, associated with purity, softness, cleanliness, perfection and the innocence of a new beginning; all qualities often expected from the female partner through social conditioning. On the other hand, the black cotton piece represents the groom with the male's qualities of power, strength, authority, and protection.
The paper collage represents the unfolding story. At a first glance, it looks delicate and even fragile however time has shown that this material is in fact durable and strong, and thus being a pillar to build a long-lasting relationship. The leather string is a symbol of power and protection, shielding each of the partners due to its strength and durability.
Graphite is the mineral chosen to write their love story, creating a personal language that leaves its marks and assumes the symbolic distances between the realms of the public and the private. The dark gray to black lines made of pure carbon are able to conduct electricity and heat, hence used here to deepen into the internal codes of intimacy.
