Prada Marfa Love Locks

Padlocks adorned with messages of love adorn the perimeter fence of the iconic Prada Marfa art installation located just outside Valentine in the heart of West Texas. Over the years countless couples have affixed these locks to the sturdy iron barrier that separates the grazing livestock from the visiting tourists. These locks, etched with the names or initials of the lovers, serve as enduring symbols of the unbreakable devotion shared by each romantic duo. (Photo by Patricia Milford)
