GREED/NEED

Neon in Clear 8mm with acrylic backing | August 2025

GREED/NEED is the first in a series of neon installations interrogating how patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism are embedded in our everyday language as structures that have historically marginalized those who do not uphold the racial and gender binaries. In this political moment marked by division, scarcity, and fear, we’ve collapsed desire into entitlement, reinforcing an oppressive logic that equates wanting with deserving. Language, like power, is not neutral. It shapes how we see ourselves and others, often upholding systems that silence, erase, and subjugate.
