US VS US

Created in 2020, Nikita gale produced US VS US. Amidst the protest of the Black Lives Matter, this interactive slideshow which consists of 200 flowers, representing the killings of innocent people, and LAPD equipment gear. Gale’s artwork allows the audience to visit a web page and scroll down to view the images. In between, Gale uses June Jordan’s poem, “Letter to the Local Police ,” which “satirically takes up the voice of an insipid suburban resident writing a letter to the police to level a complaint about roses” (nikitagale.com ). Gale connects her work, which is about corruption and abuse towards innocent lives, with Jordan’s poem, which displays her environment as a façade to what is actually going on in the world.
