Description
The tradition was supposedly started over 100 years ago, and the ritual of "love locks" has taken on a whole new dimension in the 21st century. The roots of the ritual may have been in Serbia but it has rapidly spread throughout the world.
Couples will declare their undying love for each other by engraving their names and a suitable date on a padlock, affix it to a public place such as the Hohenzollern Bridge which crosses the Rhine River in Cologne, Germany, and then cast the keys into the river below.
As the ritual has raged across Europe, so has the controversy. In France, the weight of tons of love locks has stressed the structure of bridges and resulted in their removal, sometimes even being declared illegal. Perhaps as many as a million of these symbols have been attached to the fence on Hohenzollern Bridge, and a small detail of these locks is illustrated here.
"Love Locks" has been carefully crafted to the 5:7 ratio format specifically for the Fine Art America 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle product. This daunting puzzle will challenge even the master puzzler. As a photographic print it will also make a bold, colorful and dramatic statement on any wall.
