The series of work that will be written is a collection of essays that explore the theme of love. Each essay will explore a different facet of love, from its capacity to heal and transform us, to its power to destroy and harm us. Through these essays, I hope to provide a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of love, its many forms and functions, and its role in our lives.
