Ghada Amer: Happily Ever After, 2005, Queens Museum of Art, Queens, New York
The Happily Ever After garden consists of the familiar phrase that ends fairy tales: “happily ever after.” The words are spelled out using climbing roses and jasmine supported by metal armatures roughly five feet high. The letters form a circular enclosure that surrounds a round wooden bench built for couples. The words can be read while sitting on the bench.
