Representing the lifespan of our relationship to the first time we exchanged ‘I love yous,’ the image is photocopied 958 times, with each photocopy successively copied from the previous one. By repeatedly photocopying the staged photograph, the original image and text disintegrate, referencing both the semantic evolution of those words and my fear of the degradation of the quality, meaning, and memory of romantic declarations through their repeated performance.
