Descpription
WHITE FLAGS, an installation of all the flags of the United Nations rendered entirely in white, was inspired in the months after 9/11 as I observed the subtle yet undeniable change in that most ubiquitous of post 9/11 symbols: the American Flag bumper sticker. Watching these colors fade over time made me wonder what it might be like if all the flags of the world ultimately faded to white. A decade in the making, the project has now been realized as it was meant to be seen; in New York City to commemorate the 10th anniversary of an event that has changed us all.

I am indebted to the many volunteers, sponsors, and active participants who have helped White Flags grow in ways both big and small.

If you’d like to support the growth of White Flags you can contact me directly about hosting an exhibition or sponsoring an individual flag for $250. You can also make a tax–deductible donation of any amount here*.
