Singleness has become a dominant mindset among today’s youth, with many embracing independence and self-love over traditional societal expectations. Marriage is no longer the only path, and this shift has become the new norm.
The concept of this piece derives from the reverse spelling of ‘love’ as ‘evol,’ symbolising a conscious rejection of conventional romantic ideals. Phrases like ‘locking away the heart’ and ‘the wise avoid love’ inspire the locked heart motif, representing a rational, self-directed approach to love.
This work critically examines modern notions of love, challenging the traditional focus on romantic relationships as the ultimate connection. It reflects the rise of individualism and autonomy, urging viewers to reconsider how love, independence, and self-realisation are valued in contemporary life.
单身主义已成为当代年轻人的思潮，很多人享受单身，独立自爱，追寻自我价值，婚姻不再是唯一的选择，这成为了一个社会常态。‘evol’是love的反向拼写，灵感来自于单身独立女性常挂在嘴边的“封心锁爱”、“智者不入爱河”…用带锁的爱心电子表盘造型表达了独身主义对于爱情理性的态度。
