“a love to stay” conceptually explores the discourse of romantic relationships while considering the kitsch qualities of the perfect loving home, women’s work, and traditional images produced around idealized romantic relationships. This site-specific installation focuses on the nostalgia of past relationships and previous heartache while celebrating the adoration of the artist’s current romantic relationship like a dollar store on Valentine’s Day - confessionally emphasizing a love that is here to stay.
