This artwork represents the flag Neil Armstrong planted on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission on July 21, 1969, marking a defining moment in American history and space exploration.
Created with oil on canvas of jeans and gold leaf, the piece reflects the spirit of victory and conquest. The canvas, wrapped in denim that extends beyond the frame, symbolizes a bold and unrestrained America. The stars, seemingly escaping their frame, capture a dual desire—one for freedom and the other for the exploration of space—highlighting the country's ambition to push beyond limits and discover the unknown.
Together, these materials convey both a sense of achievement and an ongoing drive for discovery.
