I was with Sindee when she came up with the idea for this piece. Her spark was palpable! The idea simple, the invitation vulnerable and heartfelt.

The concept of "Be Mine" makes me think of all the people who love me. I am fascinated by how love is shown (versus voiced). This interactive piece invites viewers to share their personal experiences, those expressions of LOVE LANGUAGE.
