American Dream Series: The United States of Grief
Acrylic on canvas, 10 x 10 inches / 25.4 x 25.4 cm each, 2 pieces, 2025
These pieces were born from the America I live in now—where the flag, once a symbol of freedom and hope, is starting to feel like something menacing. What used to represent liberty now carries fear, death, and silence.
The stars and stripes don’t feel safe anymore—they feel haunted.
