Best

Best is a 50-pound memorial that serves as a powerful tribute to the loss of a cherished friendship. In the realm of heartbreak, we often focus on the pain of romantic separations, yet the deep emotional void left by the rupture of a best friend bond remains a largely unspoken experience.

This art piece uniquely captures the grief of parting ways with a best friend by symbolizing the emotional weight we carry. The act of physically dragging the charm through the streets becomes a metaphor for the heavy pain felt. Each scrape and scuff echoes the emotional journey of separation.

Best invites us to explore the complexities of human connection, to reflect on the significance of these friendships, and to honor the emotional landscapes that are often concealed beneath the surface of our lives. In essence, it shines a light on the often-overlooked experience of platonic heartbreak, allowing us to collectively grieve.
