The idea of this installation came from one of my peers. We had to think of things that would take up some space and art-ify our school. She (my classmate) thought of the idea of spelling out the word "love" with paper stars. Our class voted on an installation to create and hers got the majority of the votes. It turns out making origami stars is really difficult so we decided to alter the original idea and use origami paper hearts instead. In order to add color to the piece, we outlined the hearts with different color marker. The spatial projection of the paper hearts was what I think was the most successful in this installation. They are placed in such a way that it looks as if somebody splattered paint on the wall; sort of accidental but still artsy and meaningful. If we could do this installation over, I would probably suggest that we add more color to it. When I walk past it in the hall, it is kind of unnoticeable and just blends in to the cinder blocks behind it. It would really pop more if we had maybe spray-painted all the hearts a rainbow of colors and placed them accordingly on the wall.
