- Description
- The image is a collage-style artwork. It includes a triptych of illustrations: the left and right panels depict an American flag with an eagle perched on it, while the center panel shows a bald eagle. Below these images are portraits of three individuals, presumably Donald Trump, with the text "Christa Cassano is an artist and mixed media." The background is dark and textured, with what appears to be fabric or paper scraps in various colors and patterns. The edges of the pages are adorned with colorful, shredded fabric and paper.
