From the Artist:
“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem . . . It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble; how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world . . .”

Wonderful detail Heather. This work also gives away your traditional skills in the midst of the symbolism. And I love the quote: Love is the ultimate power and healer.

Knowing the story, when you first look at the piece it suggests that love is twisted. A beautiful representation. When you read your accompanying words it gives love hope. Again, beautiful.
