DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME FOR LIMERENCE?
This artwork is part of my ongoing visual research exploring the intersection of conceptual metaphors and the evolving paradigms of love and post-love. The piece examines the psychological phenomenon of limerence, characterized by obsessive infatuation with a "limerent object" (LO), as described by Dorothy Tennov in 1979.
The circular diagram visualizes how time perception becomes fragmented and distorted during episodes of limerence. Each segment represents key emotional states and activities, ranging from deep sleep and contemplation to moments of sexual tension and obsessive rumination. The shifting arrows of the clock metaphorically capture the fractured sense of time, revealing how the limerent object alters our experience of reality.
The poster combines typographic elements, schematic visuals, and textual annotations, offering a conceptual and aesthetic representation of how limerence warps one's perception of self and time. By integrating personal narratives and theoretical references, the work invites viewers to reflect on the fluid boundaries between emotional fixation and existential wholeness.
