Lisa Levy
In her own words, Lisa Levy has an exaggerated need to emotionally connect with people in a direct way, which is what drives her work.
She uses her work to try to make emotional though platonic connections, even with people she meets casually, which is ridiculous, but she loves it. (We all do). “I use the results of these endeavors to help myself and other people connect and find strength in vulnerability.”
In ‘Proof of their Love’, Lisa showcases various gifts and totems that were bestowed upon her by ex-boyfriends.
