Love is Oxidized Copper takes the idea that love can be mesmerizing and intense. Though as natural as green can be, it can also be messy and overwhelming, and spreading where it wants very much like blue-green algae. This algae is attractive to the eye with this beautiful green velvet floating upon a pond, but could be hard to escape. I toyed around with this idea that love is just as mesmerizing and full of energy, but staying too long could cause a sense of harm.
