Flag, Carceral State of America, 2025

This flag was created out of a yearning for representation for myself and the millions currently incarcerated in the United States and its territories. The promises of the Red, White and Blue do not reach the depths of our current isolated state and we demand better. Our flag reminds us we are not alone but bound to one another in our fight for freedom.
