The work consist boards with red LED lights in the form of hearts silently blinking Morse code messages. The LED panel blinks a plea that might have come from a jilted lover: "Why are you leaving me?", " What did I do wrong?" "What can I do to make you stay?". The heart shape being used in this project is sentimental; its relationship to advertising and symbolic meaning is widespread. Having this heart placed visibly in the window is meant to be a literal representation of the life of the building itself. The coded voice of the rejected building is appealing to the community for help, and in this way I am creating a conversation between the passersby and the building, in the hope finding a tenant. The generation of this dialogue serves to utilize what before was an empty, lonesome space.
