Details to notice. Connections to explore.
A painted shadow
Shading beneath the waving flag creates an illusion that it lifts away from the flat wall.

Description
Since the struggle of the Revolutionary War, the flag of the United States has served as a symbol of unity. It was first officially recognized by an act of Congress in 1777. The regulation established that the flag should consist of 13 alternating stripes of red on white with 13 white stars on a blue field. The flag of took on its present configuration of 50 stars in 1959 with the formal admission of Hawaii into statehood. In between those years, it was revised by Congress twenty-six times - having another star added to the top left field each time a state (or states) was added to the union. 2021 by Ryan Estel - Denver, CO Photo courtesy of Tracy Bloom
