MANIA

MANIA is part of the art series “Októ” and one of the eight types of love according to the ancient Greeks.
MANIA is the raging love. In MANIA, the person needs constant reassurance from their partner. This creates a level of emotional codependency that can lead to jealousy and possessiveness. I wanted to represent this with the small golden “inner,” which stands for the strong connection and intensity between the lovers — surrounded by nothing but deep black to symbolize the tension and pain surrounding the love.
