Modern Love
About this artwork
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga displays a symbolic still life of a mobile phone, a rose, and a stuffed bear holding a laced heart reading I Love You. He depicts modern love and how technology has changed our ways to communicate and express affection. On the iPhone, I wanted to write a meaningful exchange between two people who love each other dearly, says Jose. The rose and white teddy bear remind the viewer of the traditional aspect of showing love.
