"A true flag cannot be designed - it has to be torn from the soul of the people." - Unknown. Bisexuality is a misunderstood and dismissed sexuality that sits on the margins of both the heterosexual and LGBTQ+ communities, claimed by neither. Society struggles to stabilise a constructed boundary around the fluidity of bisexuality. Bisexual invisibilty is the result of social erasure rather than a reflection of the number of bisexual people within society - an invisible majority. The flag is used as a demonstration of solidarity and a form of expression for a common cause. This installation is a remodelling of a bisexual flag that confronts the biphobia and invisibility felt by the bisexual community.
