This iconic expression is the mantra of our Declaration of Independence.
An ethos put to paper that we could all look to as the unifying guide in our democracy. Growing up in the United States, the only question was whether we could apply this to all our citizens equally.
These truths are becoming less self evident. I think it’s time we go back, discuss and understand the text. Power to the people. No kings.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to be free SO THAT I MAY ASSIMILATE THEM INTO THE COLLECTIVE

Why the Dutch Flag?

It’s just a representation of red, white and blue. Not meant to be a flag just colors of the American flag.
I also tinted the white to be closer to the Statue of Liberty’s color 🗽

Hmmm ok then if I might make a suggestion? Thee Statue was a gift from France, they use the samee colors, but vertical instead of horizontal so maybe you can put it in your next drawing :)

Sure, I get what you’re saying. The one thing is that I use contrast of extension for my art. This uses color as part of the composition so the color wouldn’t work horizontally but it might look better if I changed part of the background color

If I understand you correctly you used the white bar to highlight the eyes, yes? In that case, the lines veertical might also work to highlight the middle face?

It was instantly recognizable as our Lady, really good piece. I'm sorry we let you all down :( made me feel some sad American feelings. As if I haven't been feeling them recently.... its good art

The USA has been through some really bad times before. I’m sure this won’t last forever but this shit sucks right now
