The Love you left behind
The love you left behind is a hand felted tapestry depicting the entangled story between love and grief. Inspired by the famous quote “Grief is the price you pay for love” - Elizabeth II. In the tapestry we are faced with two more of Livia’s recurring autobiographical characters taking us on this complex personal yet universal journey. Inspired by folklore, tarot and superstitions, the tapestry is filled with hidden symbols and meaning, open for us to depict and interpret.
