Love is a special experience for human life. It is undeniable that love is an important aspect of human relationship life. In life, at least humans carry out social relations, namely humans with each other or transcendent ones, namely humans and their God. As someone who grows up in a Christian environment, an understanding of God's love for humans has been obtained since childhood through teachings in his church. But over time, the search for the meaning of God's love experienced through personal experience deepens. In attaining the perfection of love, there must be an acceptance of bad or imperfect conditions. This is what is interpreted in the process of creating works. Through the presence of text and the use of the golden color, it becomes a representation of the nature of perfection and divinity. The creation of this work also uses finding objects that are represented as imperfections. The technique used is a gilding technique using gold leaf sheets which are then applied to the found objects. The creation of this work aims to represent the meaning of love and the state of pain in the process of love.
