The Glowing Homeless, 2024-25, neon light, 73in x 14.5in x 10in, Church of Saint Eustache, Paris, France.
Invited by Rubis Mécénat, the neon sculpture The Glowing Homeless was displayed at The Church of Saint-Eustache from December 2024 - May 2025.
To accompany this neon silhouette, I created a sound installation called Chants de La Pointe, for which I recorded the whispered, hummed, sung and whistled songs of the beneficiaries of the association La Pointe Saint-Eustache during collaborative workshops in December 2024. These sung testimonies reveal life fragments of men and women who have experienced homelessness and who agreed to collaborate on the project. - view Rubis Mécénat website -

The Glowing Homeless, 2011, neon light, 73in x 14.5in x 10in
For the public art event Bring to Light NYC in 2011, I created the Glowing Homeless, a neon outline of a human form resting on a city park bench in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Through my implementation of attractive materials, my intention was to reverse the normal reaction of avoidance, and drew people towards the form on the bench representing a homeless person sound asleep amongst the park’s crowds.
