Wounded Nation depicts a bald eagle standing over a tattered and blood-stained American flag, an arrow lodged in its back. The imagery is deliberately uncomfortable—a symbol of a nation wounded not by an outside enemy, but from behind.
Created during a period of growing distrust and frustration with those entrusted with positions of power, the piece reflects betrayal, injury, and the complicated relationship between patriotism and disillusionment. The eagle remains standing despite the wound, leaving the viewer to decide what comes next.
