Love is a sculpture by Ukrainian artist Alexander Milov. The sculpture was featured at the 2015 Burning Man festival in Nevada. The sculpture appears to represent two humans who are at odds, but each has an inner child attempting to connect with each other. The sculpture was purchased by a winemaker from Hungary and it was eventually moved to Vál, Hungary in 2017. On the fourth of December 2018 a new Love sculpture was created in Ukraine and installed in Odesa, Ukraine, in front of a cinema..

Inspired by the sculpture, Love, by Alexander Milov.

When conflicts raise its ugly head real soon, our nations won’t inevitably swoon; a time that real détente and peace attune. Some people still record the slights most ever stored. Thus escalate discord, their armies can’t be bored. But bearing painful past in mind, endowed ensuing loss with angst, so many bowed with hidden resentment and furrow browed. In corners hide the past, persistent ghosts which last. The indiscretions vast: those overboard and fast. It shan’t depend on inner child if strewn: ‘To never stand against the wisdom roared.’ Do kowtow when rambunctious children vow t’ ensure revolt replaced by great repast.
