About the theme of "United States of America"
I aim to represent the complex and evolving landscape of statehood visually
in the United States through abstract shapes created with collages and tapes.
Each shape symbolizes a different state, drawing inspiration from the diverse origins of their names and the historical tensions between federal
and state powers.
By layering and juxtaposing various materials, I seek to convey the intricate interplay of cultural, linguistic, and political influences shaping American identity.
Using collages and tapes, I can explore statehood's multifaceted nature, highlighting the country's diverse perspectives and experiences.
Through the careful arrangement of materials, I aim to evoke American society's fragmented and dynamic nature, where different states grapple with unique challenges and aspirations.
By creating abstract shapes that blur the boundaries between states, I invite viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of the American experience and the complexities of national unity.
In my artistic exploration, I seek to capture the tension between unity and division in the United States, symbolized by the interplay of abstract shapes and textures.
By incorporating elements of collage and tape, I strive to evoke the fluidity
and diversity of the American landscape, where state lines often blur
and overlap.
Through this visual representation, I hope to prompt viewers to consider
the evolving dynamics of statehood and the enduring quest for unity
amidst diversity.
