Perhaps the most difficult thing that a human being is called upon to face is loving. At first it seems really easy and for some it might be, but the majority of us struggle with it. Trust issues, insecurities, feeling unloved and helpless - relationships are not easy and it seems like we don’t really know how to love.

Regarding on how to implement sustainable love I think themesizing our lack of love in society and defining love are probably the first steps we have to take. Therefore I created the project „Lack of Love“ and started of by interviewing very close friends of mine about this topic.

Additionally I designed a small interactive guide based on the book „All about Love“ from Bell Hooks. With hands on tasks it teaches different theories and let’s you explore your way of implementing love.

Next to the Love Guide you will find a virtual pet - the LoveMe-Pet. After starting it you will have to care for this little creature and take responsibility. But to keep you hooked on working through the Love Guide you will only be allowed to feed your virtual buddy when full filling one task. So if you forget to do them your pet will have to go to sleep hungry. If you repeatedly forget to do them your LoveMe-Pet will die. So keep track of them!
