THEME
Can you depict a functional view of 'love"? The theme should explore the 'rational', or "non-romantic" conceptual views of love. From the stand point of evolutionary theory, "love' is simply an evolved mechanism in the higher species to motivate and support the bonding between animals for the purpose of nurturing offspring, and other environmental engagements - all to serve survival and perpetuation of the species (or genes). Thus, beyond all the 'romantic' depictions of love over time, 'love' is simply the expression/experience of an addictive group of chemicals serving a function. Can you depict a non-romantic, strictly functional view of 'love"?
The only firm restriction is that images should not be overtly sexual as this will be a public show available for viewing by all ages.
