A low-resolution portrait of a woman in bridalwear serves as the backdrop for a chaotic neon overlay of Grindr Pakistan keywords—"I AM TOP" “Shemale Aunty,” “Botom,” “Sex Shokeen,” and the notorious typo “Contict Me.” Digitally collaged and reprinted, the piece captures the accidental poetics of Grindr thirst DPs, where desire, gender, and English misuse collide with startling sincerity. Its bold red mount and yellow frame amplify tabloid kitsch, recasting the work as visual folklore.

Exhibited in “Spasial Program” at SculptureCenter, New York, June 18 –July 28, 2025. 

Availability: Free pickup on July 29, or worldwide shipping (price excludes shipping).
