This enlarged sculpture repurposes the standard friendship bracelets as intimate stories of queer youth. Through this everyday item between two Queer partners, the nostalgic momento of a subverted bond can be expressed. We can fulfil the idea that we deserve to take up space- loud and proud. The loving process of exchanging Bracelets brings tactility to a bond you build with someone. You integrate love into you daily through this exchange as the item stays on your body. You can reflect on this sentiment of affection and care that went into the thoughts and creation of the bracelets. So many Queer women could express these emotions through the language and guise pop culture gave us, friendship. Therefore, by putting queer love at the forefront, taking items of this culture not on your terms but on ours, we can transform our own subverted stories into prideful ones.
