Love and Attachment

I went again to the Louise Bourgeois exhibition at the Tate Modern yesterday. The moment I saw this sculpture I thought of the Buddhist concept of attachment and non-attachment.

Please read Beth‘s post of the same name, including the comments.

I have long been wondering how best to illustrate the idea of non-attachment visually since Alistair first told me Joseph Goldstein’s explanation which completely revolutionised the way I conceived of the notion.

Now I’ve found the perfect pictorial co-relative, and don’t have to write an exegesis since by the serenwebity of the internetting Beth and her commenters have done it already!
