Say, Can You See

(2026, translucent flag)

Say, Can You See examines what the American flag represents by stripping this symbol of its symbols and creating a new flag that is transparent and colorless. Unassuming yet provocative, it refuses a fixed meaning and instead becomes a space for projection, inviting viewers to confront their own associations, assumptions, and aspirations. By removing the flag's familiar visual language, we ask a deceptively simple question: What remains when the symbols
are gone?
