There are many options for how you can create a love letter. Someone writes them on paper, someone - on the asphalt under the windows of their beloved, someone on the Internet. And here is the artist Jad Melki created a series of such letters from … mattresses.
Yes, exactly those mattresses that fit on the bed for a restful and soft sleep. Of course, this is far from the first time in the world when artists turn them into works of art (remember, for example, paintings on mattresses by Canadian Brian Hunter). But today we will focus on completely strange works, completely unlike the work of any other artist.
The fact is that Jad Melcky writes love letters using mattress springs. He bends them in the form of letters, which eventually form a string of words about love!
According to the stories of Jad Melcki himself, the idea to create such a project was born to him when he remembered the stories of his parents about their youth. In 1974, the artist's father studied at the University of Beirut, and his mother worked as a volunteer for a humanitarian program in Sierra Leone. And they regularly wrote letters to each other. And these messages, when read at night, created a special comfort zone for each of them, made sleep calm and pleasant, like a soft mattress.
That is why the installation by Jad Melka is a gutted mattress of standard sizes, in which the springs represent texts about love, and inside there is a source of pleasant, soothing light that has the same spectrum of light as a night lamp.
Jazh Melky, talking about this unusual work of his, comments on it with the words: "Love is as much necessary for a person as sleep!" Here, as a visual demonstration of this statement, one can cite his unusual mattress installation!
