Multimedia on Canvas 48” X 48”, 2" 2006 Since WW II the USA has been the ambassador for world peace and democracy. It is the emblem that has become our "product". This product has become packaged and sold for various self - serving purposes. This product that we package and sell is embodied in this kaleidoscopic representation of a peace symbol. A bright green image of a peace symbol lies on top of an obscure surface. The circular shape is in the center of a perfect square. As the fluorescent green color of the peace symbol travels downward, it changes the background colors in order to represent movement and diversity. A melting image of a USA flag serves as backdrop for the top part of the composition. Red and black stripes calmly cross the bottom part of it suggesting an African American version of the USA flag. At the center of the peace symbol, three small red circles are stacked in a Trinitarian formation, guarding the overall symbolism of the message. From the bottom, a victory (V) symbol rises and preserves the original colors of the symbol. This image aims to bring awareness of the many ramifications that USA politics have had over our world cultures.
