This series juxtaposes the torn and dirty USian flag with the naked bodies of all genders, races, sexuality, nationality, and cultural backgrounds to capture their vulnerability, emotions, and strength, critiquing the United States as the dreamland and shelter for all. The U.S. is alleged to be the most open and tolerant country but it fails to welcome people from various backgrounds equally. Everyone was invited to join the project because most of the people were immigrants in some ways at some point in the history of the country even if they're citizens now.

American flag series very creative and important! Well thought out and compositions. Well captured !

These are great photos but I have to ask did you cut up this flag or is it an old flag? Did you take it to your local fire department, vfw, American legion to have it properly destroyed? If not you should and see what the steps are when it come to properly retiring a us flag ????????.
Some people are going to find this Offensive like myself as a Iraq veteran but I also se the art side of it. I only ask that when your finished with you have it properly destroyed.

Thanks
