On display at the Jendela threater of Espandale is a roving exhibition of memtos of gifts/items representing failed relationship. Some are very cryptic, like the series of bras with notes attached that leave an unexplained story.
Some are so touching and sad, like the case of a boy realized his love can be because his girl loves women more. And vice versa, the sketch drawing of 2 naked men by a girl marks her realization that her love is gay.
The most touching is the single metal green key, one of the many gifts to his love. Only upon his death, did she realized his refusal to have sex is of how much he loved her to prevent from her being infected with his AIDS illness.
Another sad, sharp and brunt story was of a mobile phone send to a girl from her boyfriend to mark the end of their relationship by saying never to call him again.
Different stories, different hurts and haunting memories of past affections litters across the exhibition. By the end, one leaves the place with a feeling of how fragile is love and how warm glow of love items easier turns to memtos of anger, tears and sorrow when the feeling is gone.
