"Untitled" (Perfect Lovers)

"Untitled" (Perfect Lovers) is a conceptual artwork by artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres created in 1987. It features two precise, identical clocks side by side, subtly illustrating the passage of time and the relationship between love and mortality. As the clocks inevitably drift apart, it symbolizes the fragility of love and the inevitability of separation, resonating with themes of loss and connection. The work invites viewers to reflect on their personal experiences with love, making it both intimate and universal, while showcasing Gonzalez-Torres' signature blending of everyday objects with profound emotional undertones.
