Shiloh, New Jersey, USA

Here's the American flag as we know it: 50 stars for the 50 states, 13 stripes for the 13 originals. It's a very geographical design. In fact, it's almost a map, or what geographers call a cartogram. The scene itself is a re-creation of New York City firefighters hoisting the stars and stripes above the ruins of the World Trade Center in the days after 9-11. [2006]
