Abstract

The intention of my work is twofold: to illuminate where there has been or is an absence of love in one’s life and to convey the impact of such loveless relationships. Research revolves around aspects of societal norms in Western culture, and how variables such as gender and beauty affect the development of intimate relationships. While my own experiences form the foundation of this thesis, texts by bell hooks, Elaine Scarry, and Diane Ackerman will also be drawn upon. The use of glass as a recurring material will be explored as well, as its properties are critical to the conceptual weight of the work.
