We’ve once had pride in our flag; however, now, our pride is slowly dwindling into none

Three different flags
Three different America’s
Upper class
Middle class
Lower class
Different Flags, Different lifestyles
Different class, less stars aligned
The less stars aligned marks the difference of views
Difference of flags represents the different perspectives of our country
The big flag living in wealth and prosperity
While the small flag does all it can to achieve stars just to live in poverty

Our pride in the flag is decreasing as time goes on. What does America represent? Should we really have pride in a country that has oppressed so many? Does the flag unite us or divide us?

Red, White and Blue will never change, but throughout history the emotions set when looking at the American flag have changed. The three flags represent different things to different people, yet the one connection is the one flag that is always recognized by anyone in the world.

The American flag is of great importance in our nation.
But here it is displayed in a unique way.
What does the overlapping of the flags mean?
Could it be overlapping societies?
Is it trying to say that there is more behind the US than what we originally see or learn?

Three flags,
different in size,
yet all the American flag.
Although different in size,
All with the same meaning,
Freedom

# data[].attributes.body
The land of freedom and equal opportunity. This land was founded with  principles of free speech and the hope of living out the “American dream”. But as time goes on, we see people being attacked for stating an opinion that opposes somebody else’s. We see these principles become more and more exclusive depending on race, social status, and  beliefs.

The American flag
Stars and Stripes.
Always around us.
Representing our nation.

Three flags
centered on top of eachother
Each time getting smaller.
But the lines of the 3 flags
align with to illustrate the entire flag as a whole.

Small flag. Medium flag. Large flag. Different, yet the same. We are one flag.

The American Flag. Red, white, and blue. We see it every day but what does it really mean. It represents our country and our ideas. We back up one another endlessly, for we are one. We are united under the the American Flag.

# data[].attributes.body
3 flags, one nation
Three different views on the same place
Some bad some good
But at the end of the day it’s red, white, and blue

# data[].attributes.body
The American dream is hypnotic, yet only an arrogant lie of equal opportunity hiding behind a pretty face. Our idealized, “melting pot“ culture hides centuries of pain

Symbols of America are everywhere. It is so easy to forget the significance and the importance. If we amplify the symbols maybe we will understand then

Although the flag represents liberty and freedom, The United States is very narrow minded and often chooses what to ignore and what to embrace from its past.
The flag is not always large and proud.

The layers of flags shown in this image represent the layers of history and what has changed with it. There have been many cultures roaming the land but then came a crazy tyrannical man. Everything changed as Columbus came along destroying what had been there for so long.

Covering up the past
Cultures disappearing fast
You turn one way to see tradition
And then they vanish, as if by a magician
But it is not magic or an act of justice
These treasons are headed by Christopher Columbus
To make a new world is not to overpower each other
But to accept one another, as if sister and brother.

Although there are three flags in this one photo
It can represent thousands of different ideas in just one photo
It can represent three different ways people view America or it can represent three different societies within America, all of this can be interpreted in just one photo
