Love=Love

Each puzzle brand has only one cutting pattern it applies to all of its designs, so Kent Rogowski combined the pieces of dozens of different puzzles to recompose hybrid, nearly hallucinatory landscapes. By deconstructing the conventional representations of giant flowers, romantic castles or outrageously blue skies, the Love = Love series delivers a new visual game where viewers can seek out traces of the naive imagery of their childhood puzzles in his surrealist compositions.
