For this immersive exhibition, Alpert transformed a section of Crystal Bridges’ Contemporary Art Gallery into a spectacle of pattern, color, and shapes like bows, drips, roses, hearts, hashtags, and jazz hands using painted wood, collage, and modified household objects.

The colorful space tackled themes of nostalgia, girlhood, keepsakes, and staging. Alpert is interested in the things we collect and arrange that become imbued with meaning and the repetitive, daily chores we perform in an attempt to care for ourselves and our spaces. Each moment in the 88-foot-long sequence acted as an altar to the everyday object with flashes of surreal, subconscious imagery.
