The exhibition centres around the theme of love, MacFarlane stated.

“This broad theme has quite the reach and resonated with a lot of guests,” she said. “That is also why it was so well received.”

MacFarlane added that Boerma was overwhelmed by the extremely positive feedback the exhibition has gathered.
