What is Amare?
Amare is an installation about life, death, and love. It offers a multisensory experience to the
audience through projection, speakers, and scent. The word Amare means ‘to love’ in Latin. In
the journey of life, we may encounter both joy and sorrow. Regardless of its length, life is
precious, and it is important to learn how to love and receive love from others.
Materials and Techniques applied in the Installation
Amare includes the use of molding and masting, flowers, grass, and soil from diorama-making, scented candles, and wires to provide a sensory experience to the audience.
Relation with Destination
Destination is a collection of photos with music centered around death, funerals, and love. Feel free to learn more by reading Destination.
One of Destination’s objectives is to bring people hope when they face their own death
or the death of a loved one. However, only one-third of the photo slideshow focuses on hope
and love, making the Destination balance too heavily weighted toward death. To
further develop this project, I propose Amare, an installation that focuses on life and hope and
combines it with the photo slideshow to create a more complete experience.
