Artist Showcase: Ex-Boyfriend Series by Olivia Takats

After a particularly bitter break-up, Olivia Takats decided that she was going to create an embroidery of three of her exes. I can't help but think that this must have been very cathartic.

"The first image is that of my first boyfriend and first love, the images surrounding the portrait and some of the things we bonded over and enjoyed. The following is my second boyfriend, we had a relationship based of psychical chemistry, so the images in this embroidery are exaggerations of that. The last is my third boyfriend, the first boy to "break my heart"."
