American Dream

Made in America

2025

Made in America confronts the collapse of national ideals into instruments of force. The American flag is stripped of symbolism and repurposed as a field of tanks and missiles, reducing patriotism to production, export, and destruction. By refusing metaphor or narrative, the work presents violence as an industrial outcome—manufactured, normalized, and branded. The painting asks what it means to belong to a nation whose most consistent output is power rendered through war.
