This 2024 piece by Kotcharat Thepsanguan delves into the depths of unrequited love through the figure of Cupid, the god of love himself, now weary and disillusioned. Thepsanguan captures Cupid in a moment of vulnerability, burdened by unspoken emotions and heartbreak. As though speaking to the moon alone, Cupid confides a silent sorrow—bearing the pain of unfulfilled love and tales left untold.
The poignant use of shadow and light conveys an atmosphere of longing, inviting viewers to connect with the artist's exploration of love’s darker side. This work offers a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the solitude of Cupid, where the line between love and despair blurs, leaving only the silent witness of the moon.
