flowing depiction of romantic love between men and women with simple and minimal details. I’m especially taken by the depiction of the lovers’ arms flowing into the other”s so they look interconnected as if being of one flesh. As if their bodies are one body shared by them. This serves beautifully to illustrate that state of impassioned blurring of the sense of the separated self. The melding and abandonment of the I into the us, which is echoed in their gaze into each other’s eyes.

This reminds me a little of Picasso’s line drawings in your use of minimal lines to capture something elusive and precious yet so basic that we recognize it instantly. A fundamental and foundational human emotion. Good job!
