An allegory of love, lust and beauty, Odi et Amo features a semi-nude Venus perched inside an anatomical heart, surrounded by beauty and delights. The ribbons with roman love poems being pulled into place by two lovers.

Below are the translations of the love poems on the ribbons:

Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris?

nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

I hate and I love. How can I do that, you might ask me perhaps?
I do not know. But that's what I feel and this is torture.

Cedimus, an subitum luctando accendimus ignem?

cedamus! leve fit, quod bene fertur, onus.

Shall I surrender or stir up the sudden flame by fighting it?
I will surrender - a burden becomes light when it is carried willingly.

Eadem fabula, amor cum gloria, dulcis et decorus.Amantes fovet hic mundus, ut it tempus.

The same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die. The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by.
