Love Wrapped Up by Haruhiko Kawaguchi
©Photographer Hal
Packaged and weighed, the Japanese artist Haruhiko Kawaguchi known better as Photographer Hal takes photographs of couples wrapped up against one another, sometimes wrapped up in their own little worlds. The series ‘Flesh Love’ now includes 80 pairs; Kawaguchi explains the symbolism of the project as such ‘I wanted to wrap up couples in nothing other than each other to show how close they were and the love they shared’.
His project has a readable metaphor at work, but it is up to you to decide if there might be another way of demonstrating the love shared between two people without wrapping them up to the point of suffocation.
