This LOVE steel sculpture has caught my eye many times already. I've seen pretty much all over the place (in New York, UPenn, etc) and in different forms (such as cute miniature ones).

Though it is relatively simple, LOVE in red with the O slanted and green/blue backing, it conveys a powerful meaning that connects everyone. This iconic image was made by pop artist Robert Indiana, and originally stemmed off an image for a Christmas card. It also comes in different languages, such as in Chinese, Hebrew, Italian, and the Spanish version: AMOR. There's even a HOPE version.

Since there are so many different versions of this popular sculpture, I wanted to create my own. I've always really loved the word "LOVE" and the deep meaning behind it, which really speaks out to me.

I decided to do it in Japanese, since it hasn't been done before.
