This was one of the first shows in which I made a concerted attempt at relating a narrative through robots. The story involved the tragic arc of a failing relationship. The main prop, which carried much of the responsibility of conveying this narrative, was a remote-controlled sixteen-foot tall heart sheathed in sheet metal. In the center of this heart was a grisly and bloody sculpture of dismembered body parts, symbolizing the shattered lives that "Love" leaves in its brutal wake.
