‘Our’Merika’ is a reminder that our country and our world is in its current state because of our choices. We can not afford to be deceived by nostalgic slogans. The rights we so often take for granted were not freely given, but fought for with blood, sweat and tears. Each flag was been interpreted to reflect the difficult history of Our’Merika and of the world, and weaves together our overlapping experiences, expressions and aspirations. The Red bleeds into the Blue and swirls in the White. For some, this presentation of the nation's symbol will be unsettling. This is intentional. The artist is not seeking an audience that desires a sterilized revision of history, but wants to enliven those who are unaware that their rights may be a thing of the past. Ultimately, the question is, “How will we decide today to shape tomorrow?”
