Neon artist Olivia Steele is known for her spirited, neon happenings on the playa and around the globe. First installed as a renegade installation at the last Further Future in 2016 at the Moapa River Indian Reservation, it found its way back for a second rodeo at the Robot Heart Residency.
Through its vivid neon glow, the piece symbolizes a journey of awakening and discovery, suggesting that the current state is merely a starting point for profound transformation. The installation invites viewers to reflect on personal and collective growth, emphasizing optimism and resilience. By casting light this time of darkness, it embodies hope, encouraging onlookers to embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
