Description of Pictures: LOVE HATE Sculpture
By German Artist Mia Florentine Weiss
After touring extensively in Europe, LOVE HATE is making its United States debut in Farragut Square Park. Created by German artist Mia Florentine Weiss, LOVE HATE is an ambigram that reads “love” from one side, and “hate” from the other side. The large scale steel structures measure more than seven feet tall and about 16 feet long each.
LOVE HATE is presented by the Delegation of the European Union, the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District, and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Washington, DC, offering culture and vitality to visitors, residents, and workers as they return downtown.
“It’s an ambiguous yet powerful message that symbolizes how we can turn hate into love through a change of perspective. It celebrates our unity as humans through our diversities, a message which resonates with all of us. LOVE HATE is a giant message on the street that we have a choice to make each day. We can choose to focus on love.” – Mia Florentine Weiss

2021 photos: Overnight trips this year: (May, October) After getting fully vaccinated, I made two trips down to Asheville, NC to visit my dad and his wife Dixie, and (July) Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, up slightly from 2020 levels but still really low.
