Handling with love Collage

Inspired by the ¨We can do it¨ poster with Rosie the Riveter, a message used to boosting female worker morale, during wartime, with a current twist! Too many girlfriends were going through cancer treatments at the time. I envisioned an aseptic white background, a fresh start, with a reinterpreted message spelling out relief, Yet I was missing the key element that would build wit, sense and add a new dimension to its new meaning. This is when my precious Villeroy and Boch teapot slipped away from my hands, leaving me with the broken handle, wondering if I could ¨handle the situation, -  Do I now go buy a new one to complete the expensive set? ! And that’s how this art piece evolved -. Handling it with creativity (all puns intended). Immediately I replaced the demanding verb CAN with a delicate HANDLE, to give me the control and opportunity to lift, deal, change the perception and the situation.   Result: White on white canvas with built in message and an accidentally broken handle, creating a powerful word, question mark and, when reflected, the perfect heart. Can you handle with care? How much can you candle? Can you handle me? Can I handle you?
