A salvaged piece of signage, a large aluminum letter O, serves as the Oval Office walls. The office floor rotates to expose the two opposing worlds. Brushed solid steel executive office furniture on one side represents the previous administration that made so much social and environmental progress. Overturn to the underside - the Opposite reality, the Opposition, the Oppression – shown in negative space decomposing and decaying in rust. Many executive orders sway from a comb-over of exposed wire(tapping):
· nO tax(es)
· nO democracy (in Russian)
· nO reg(ulation)s
· nO EPA
· nO immigrants
· nO clean water
· nO clean air
· nO equality
· nO facts
· nO healthcare!
