Two giants, their foreheads gently touching, share a moment that speaks to the unspoken—an expression of love rooted in memory, strength, and soul-deep connection. "The Weight of Love" is a visual meditation on how love, even when quiet, can carry immense strength. Inspired by the lifelong bonds elephants form, this piece invites the viewer to reflect on the enduring nature of love—especially the kind that transcends time, distance, and even death.

In this work, I wanted to honor love’s incredible capacity: to lift, to carry, and yes, to weigh on us when those we love are no longer near. The tenderness between these two beings speaks to the emotional gravity of connection, whether between partners, friends, or family. It's a love that asks for nothing but presence—and leaves an imprint that never fades.
