Chapter 3 - He Loves Me

He Loves Me


Figure 19 - van der Linden, A., (2019)
He Loves Me, Earrings in sterling silver
with pearls and cubic zirconia beads


This piece was created from sterling silver with pearls and Cubic Zirconia Beads.  This piece was also made to move using the petal slot method.  See figure 19:

He Loves Me…
Damaged flowers, torn
Petals plucked out, imperfect
they seek completion
When placed together,
they fill the empty spaces
and two become one

Insignificant
are their pasts, love now shines through
 they are whole again

He Loves Me was inspired by the game known as 'he loves me he, loves me not' a game played by picking the petals off of a flower and saying: “he loves me”, “he loves me not” with each petal that is pulled off in hopes of determining whether a crush's feelings are mutual.  
The below poem was constructed using phrases and words from a page of free writing
