This painting started in 2022 as a letter to the artist's dear (last lover), In the painting, Formica expresses his exhaustion and despair in unrequited love. I was reflecting on the dragging dramatic cycles of passing from one relation to another like disorienting interpenetration, traversing thresholds, holes as portals within labyrinths of life. Only in 2023 was the painting completed after he finally urged to release this violence that he felt in love.
