New York Trip
Spring break was last week. I went to New York to visit a friend and prepared a package of hearts to string up somewhere in the city. Sounds so simple, but I am finding it very difficult to get up the courage to do it. What am I afraid of? Well for one thing I do not want them to fall on the ground and become waste. I do not want them to harm the environment or add to the detritus that a city already accumulates. this would break my heart and woudl go against everything I ca

Joy as Resistance at the Sanchez Art Center
What’s so funny about peace, love, and understanding? That was the question the Sanchez Art Center posed on Saturday, March 14, 2026—and the title of the art show currently on display. The war (or not‑war; the president still hasn’t committed to a label) in Iran is raging. ICE continues its crackdown, though it’s barely a blip in the news cycle anymore because the headlines are consumed by the conflict overseas. Epstein’s cronies remain unaccountable. Meanwhile, on a personal

the first found heart report
I had the first report from someone who found a heart after the SFSU workshop! Very exciting. Shirley Quan's note is below and a photo of the heart that now has a new home. "I got myself a heart.

All the hearts were taken but five, which I hung up outside the School of Design Office for

SFSU workshop
First ever Spread Love Heart Attack installation Today was my first Spread Love Workshop at San Francisco State University. I had prepared many unstuffed printed hearts and over one hundred paper hearts ready for personalization and/or stuffing. I had high hopes and the eight people who came were enthusiastic and had a great time. I was a bit disappointed with the turn out, but it was a rainy day and it has been a pretty tough week already, so I am happy that those who did sh

heart attacks
January 31, 2026 I made 73 paper Spread Love hearts for the Slavic festival at the Russian Center in San Francisco today. This was my first Heart Attack. I am hoping someone who finds a heart will send me an email. Making the hearts was time consuming but quite meditative with a touch of thrilling if that makes any sense. I felt like I had a purpose. I put the hearts in my purse and was going to hand them out to anyone and everyone. What actually happened, was that I lost my

hello!
January 27, 2026 The world feel like it is upside down. I am a Green Card holding Canadian citizen living in the United States. I often wonder why. I love my new life here and my new family of friends and colleagues, but it feel like this country is ready to implode. Returning to Canada is an option, but my life is here, and I feel like I have something to offer. But what? What is my offering? I have been to my share of marches and protests but peaceful protesting feels excee
