Can a flag be a statement? Absolutely. Here we see the American flag reimagined, created in 2022. The artist, born in 1985, uses a potent symbol of national identity. The traditional red and blue are exchanged. Instead, a spectrum of oranges, pinks, and purples now ripple across the fabric. The star field pops in vivid magenta. This references the lesbian pride flag designed in 2018. It utilizes related color schemes to represent different aspects of the community. Flags, since Jasper Johns' iconic series, have been used to explore complex themes. These themes include identity and representation. "Lesbian, American flag" invites dialogue. What does it mean to belong? How do we redefine symbols to reflect evolving values? Next time you see the stars and stripes, consider the many stories it can tell.
