Love, Hope & Believe, 2001

A modern version of the traditional Dutch symbols for hope (anchor), faith (cross) and love (heart). While the anchor, cross and heart have been replaced by a bottle of wine, a woman and a pig, AVL's modular symbols can be used in any combination: one may believe in women, hope for wine and love pigs; believe in pigs, hope for a woman and love wine; believe in wine, hope for pigs and love a woman. The woman’s truncated body and the empty wine glass suggest that these wishes may never be fulfilled.
