Social morality is dramatically changing due to increasing consumerism and mass media culture. Referring to this, the artist ask a question of whether love is becoming a social product and feeling is nothing more but a social scenario? Does unpredictable love exist in the postmodern culture? Or just the opposite, feelings are closely connected with social control, being a symbolic communication code?
