four-lettered words.

Love. Coordinated and designed by Samantha Hahn. 

A photo book collaborated by twenty-five different writers and artists; each with their own unique way of portraying their idea of love, were asked to contribute. For a sneak peak of the beauty that beats within the pages you can click here.

According to Samantha Hahn, we all see love differently and yet much in the same way. We're connected through love and art.

Similar to the film, Paris Je T'aime, Love takes a bit from each individual and pulls it together seamlessly into one universal idea of what this four-letter word means. Storytelling through words and art alike.

Paris, Je T'aime is a film that tallied twenty-two directors and eighteen different short stories, all centered around the different arrondissements of Paris. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the tree-lined streets of Paris, arrondissements are the "neighborhoods" of the European city that I briefly called home.

Anyway, each director was given an arrondissement, numbered one through twenty (two were cut out of the film for their inability to flow with the other eighteen) and set a love story within the parameters of their 'hood. 

Everyone sees love in a different way, and the best way of all to see it is: as a collaboration. 

What I love about love is the impossibility of pinning down one simple, exact definition.

I will see it through eighteen arrondissements, twenty-five artists and through the rose-colored glasses of amour. Le sigh.
