"Hard To Love" is an artwork that conveys pain and vulnerability, symbolizing the difficulties and complexities that can come with love. The barbed wire encasing the rose highlights the entanglement of beauty and pain, suggesting that love, while beautiful, can also be fraught with challenges and suffering. The falling petals signify the gradual loss and decay that can accompany strained relationships.
