…But I Love Him by David Drebin glows in crisp pink neon, enclosed within a white, comic-style thought bubble. The phrase hovers against a glossy black background, reading like a private confession caught mid-thought—raw, unresolved, and quietly intense.

Drebin transforms emotion into pop-inspired form, turning a fleeting feeling into a lasting visual. The words suggest love, regret, or longing, depending on who’s looking. The viewer becomes part of the story, filling in what came before or what might follow.

With its clean lines and glowing presence, the piece feels both bold and intimate. The deep frame gives the text room to float, making it feel like a thought suspended in time.
