Every Sunday at church, I stay awake by sketching images of times with my friends (mostly made up) which help me to concentrate and listen to the Spirit. Today I felt the need to make an image in honor of Memorial Day. This is my thank you to all those men and women who've served this country in the past and continue to serve us today.
In my process for making this image, I decided to leave out facial features and many details in order to try and keep your attention focused on the angles of the bodies in pulling/pushing the flag into its home position seen as the spot of light. Everyone works together because a nation cannot stand alone.
Based off the image and statue of "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima," I hope to inspire the same message of strength.
