Details
Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present Forever Yours, a series of custom foil heart balloons suspended in resin by Adam Parker Smith. The patterns and text on the encased balloons were designed by Smith and are reminiscent of tokens of affection available at bodegas and corner stores across the world, often found attached to a plastic stick peeking out of a bouquet of flowers. The sentiment carries an element of brevity both in the association to ‘Quick Stop’-type convenience and the fleeting existence of these gifts. Balloons are adored because they mark a special occasion, but they never survive more than a few days; here, Smith casts the hearts in resin so that they can last forever, as if fossils suspended in amber. The emotional reaction we have to an object that reminds us so vividly of the magic of love and youth is epitomized in the foil heart balloon, even if it is fleeting, low-cost and disposable.
