This powerful outdoor neon light installation by Carl Hopgood features a tall repurposed ladder structure adorned with glowing cyan neon text reading 'You Tried To Bury Me But I Was A Seed.' The work was exhibited at the Bombay Biennale in Salton Sea, California in 2022, set against an open desert landscape at dusk. The cascading typographic composition transforms a utilitarian object into a luminous monument of resilience and defiance. The work exemplifies Hopgood's practice of merging text based neon art with found materials to deliver emotionally resonant public statements.
