Artist Hannah Stouffer has a funny way of depicting love. In her wall decal design, El Arbol de Amor (The Tree of Love), she uses skeletons mashed together to form the shape of a tree. Much of her work, in fact, depicts mounds of skeletons formed into other shapes. Sometimes her art is simply mounds of skeletons.
Despite the morbid element, Hannah Stouffer's work is still awesome to look at. Check out El Arbol de Amor and some of her other work in the gallery above.
