Jack Pierson's *SEX* is a bold typographic sculpture assembled from mismatched vintage letters, characteristic of the artist's signature style of repurposing found signage and marquee lettering. The weathered, worn surfaces of each individual character lend the work a sense of nostalgia and vulnerability, contrasting with the provocative directness of the word itself. Through this tension between fragility and bluntness, Pierson explores themes of desire, identity, and the charged cultural weight embedded in language.
