Concrete Poetry Sculpture

Concrete Poetry, Sculpture

2023

The emotional toll caused by unhealthy relationships stands as one of humanity’s most feared experiences. Despite the moments of happy memories and fleeting acts of kindness, toxic relationships inherently lack the capacity for a mutually rewarding experience. The fluid lines depicted in the sculpture symbolize the emotional conflict, a push and pull between realizing a relationship’s flaws and an inability to detach from a loved one. This struggle between one’s thoughts and emotions is conveyed through the large scale and consuming nature. With an organic flow of lines and specific imagery, this sculpture exemplifies the tone and voice of Björk and the music box notes used in the song.

LYRICS

Pedalling through
the dark currents
I find an accurate copy
A blueprint of the pleasure in me (Swirling black lilies totally ripe)

A secret code carved
a secret code carved (Swirling black lilies totally ripe)

He offers a handshake
Crooked five fingers
They form a pattern
Yet to be matched

On the surface simplicity (Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
But the darkest pit in me
Is pagan poetry (Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
Pagan Poetry

Morse coding signals (signals)
They pulste (They wake me up)
They wake me up (Pulsate)
From my hibernating

On the surface simplicity (Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
But the darkest pit in me

And it’s pagan poetry (Swirling black lillies totally ripe)
Pagan poetry (Swirling black lillies totally ripe)

I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him, I

She loves him, she loves him (This time)
She loves him, she loves him (I’m gonna keep it to myself)
She loves him, she loves him (This time)
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him (I’m gonna keep me all to myself)

She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him (But he makes me want to hand myself over)
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
