IN DEPTH:

The Two of Cups show a dapper young couple, they cheers one another with champagne flutes, bubbling over on the steps of the University. They are swept up in the moment and they want to make it last. A pledge of love, or revolution. Behind them there is a build-up of plastered posters for the ongoing student revolution. “LA BEAUTÉ EST DANS LA RUE” “UNIVERSITÉ AUTONOME”. After almost a year of organizing the university had now been occupied. While this was the culmination of many forces not pictured here—this couple feels themselves distinctly at the forefront. 

Some of their peers mock them as ‘champagne socialists’ or vanguardists. But this romance is unbothered by the derision, because the chemistry is electric, and they feel a world of possibility in one another’s company.
