"LOVE" Sculpture, Photographed at Taipei 101
390 x 421 - 98KB, Sep 2011

I drew the sketch in front of Taipei 101 (Taipei World Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan), inspired by Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture. 

Robert Indiana is an American artist associated with the Pop Art movement. His work often represents an image of simple, bold and icon with short words or numbers. There are many versions of Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. 

I recalled the famous quote by Morrie Schwartz when I was drawing the sketch, "The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
