The exhibition space features three-dimensional and creative works that appear to be paintings but are composed of dozens of decollages.

The title of the exhibit was taken from Hi-standard's "Love is a Battlefield," with a subtitle of "It's hard to see Love," which was my own answer to the question," Chris says. I added my own answer, "It's hard to see Love," to the subtitle," says Chris. When it comes to your own love life, you can't really see what's going on around you. I hope that by taking a glimpse at the various couples depicted in the film, people will have the opportunity to look at their own love objectively and enjoy a wonderful time of love.
