ÚGY SZERETLEK, MAJD MEGESZLEK X AGAINST THE CURRENT

"Against the Current x Úgy Szeretlek, Majd Megeszlek" is a painting initially conceived to explore the question: when, if ever, should we give up going against the current? However, as I worked on the piece, another concept began to take shape, inspired by the Hungarian saying "Úgy szeretlek, majd megeszlek," which translates to "I love you so much, I could eat you." This phrase is commonly used by adults towards children in Hungary, and it was something I heard often as a child.

I found it intriguing that this expression could imply a desire to consume those we love, potentially diminishing them. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to see people expressing love in ways that unintentionally drain or harm others. This led me to consider the importance of breaking this pattern—going against the current, so to speak—by shining a light on it.

With this piece, I aim to raise awareness about how we express love and to encourage a shift in perspective: to live for our loved ones, rather than sacrifice ourselves for them.
