Think LOVE: The Origin Story Revisited
In Think Love, the triptych’s central work, two lovers, the artists Charles Matadin and Natalie Brumley, embrace in a passionate kiss beneath a transparent red veil. The image accentuates both the ecstasy of romantic love and the introspective nature of intimate connection.
Referencing Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss (1907-1908), Charles’ structured denim emphasizes the masculine, while Natalie’s swirling lace patterns, the feminine. As we envision them on a path to return to Paradise, the mountains and road behind them point to a future where protecting the environment is the key to their survival.
