“WE THE PEOPLE” NEON SCULPTURE

“We The People” by Indira Cesarine, created in collaboration with artist Fahren Feingold, combines neon and watercolor to deliver a powerful call to civic engagement. The work features glowing neon letters spelling VOTE, created by Cesarine, mounted over Feingold’s watercolor painting depicting a diverse collective of faces spanning races, genders, and faiths. Together, the figures serve as a visual testament to diversity, equity, and inclusion, celebrating the multicultural fabric of America.

Conceptualized by Cesarine as both an artwork and a call to action, “We The People” encourages the public to exercise their hard-won right to vote and defend democracy during a time of increasing political division. Merging Cesarine’s neon intervention with Feingold’s expressive portraiture, the work becomes a unified symbol of civic participation, representation, and creative resistance.

The first edition of “We The People,” featuring orange neon, premiered in the exhibition “Art4Equality x Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness” and was selected for a public art billboard campaign presented by SaveArtSpace and Art4Equality, appearing on a Manhattan billboard for one month leading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The 2024 pink-neon edition debuted in the nationwide “Future Vision” public art billboard campaign presented by SaveArtSpace and The Untitled Space, appearing on a Brooklyn billboard ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The artwork has been featured in publications including GirlTalkHQ, CULTBYTES, Curated by Girls, and other international media outlets highlighting contemporary art and social activism.
