“American One”
The courage present in the American flag binds the buildings, silver beams, subways, and commuters of New York City as they participate in everyday acts of courage. The red, orange, yellow, white, blue, and silver hues in this painting invokes the connection of the city’s citizens after September 2011. In memory of those who passed on and those who remained behind, this work aims to echo courage in the days and nights after that deep silence.
