Everyone has some experience with a first crush, a spring fling or a summer romance, and the Vice Magazine 'Infatuated' series of collages documents exactly that. For the 2011 Photo Issue, the magazine asked the talented ladies of The Arduous to create their very own shrines to the lustful and lovey feelings of a crush. The result is six different interpretations and quirky pieces of artwork, ranging from summer beach love affairs to celebrity obsession.
Each piece in the Vice Magazine 'Infatuated' series embodies the excitement and emotional rollercoaster of feelings that develop over a short period of time when someone has a crush. Ranging from sad, heartfelt and extremely nostalgic, each one of these collages will bring you back to those days of first love, and remind you of the sometimes embarrassing, but usually sweet things that love makes people do.
