Love Can’t Pay Us Rent⁠⁠

The Ruse – Love Can’t Pay Us Rent presents a series of 3D-printed miniature lovers with paper bags over their heads, delicately arranged on white pedestals. Suspended between play and vulnerability, these anonymous figures navigate intimacy under quiet pressure. Their small scale and isolated placement reflect the precarity of relationships strained by economic realities—where love exists, but can’t always pay the rent.
