An installation of a white table set for two with a vase of yellow roses and a plate of dark brown and cream-colored sandwich cookies arranged by color. The table is draped in an orange cloth with a diamond pattern made out of lines of small, white text that read “I’ll pray for ya,” “You poor thang,” and “Bless yer heart.” A single, white heart and text that reads “Aww” and “Oh my” alternately embellish the inside of each diamond. The wall behind is deep pink.
