Americana reimagines the American flag through layers of contemporary culture—constructed from current magazines, newspapers, comic strips, and even a paper burger hat. Each element is carefully chosen to reflect the noise, humour, and culture of the present-day United States. On top of the mixed media collage, the stars and stripes are painted using a bold red, white, and blue palette, with unexpected tweaks of neon —small but deliberate details that hint at commercialism, chaos, and excitement. Highlights of 24 kt gold and silver leaf shimmer beneath a glossy resin finish, adding both glamour and tension to the work’s message.
