Allegiance by Luke Wilson is the artist’s personal tribute to his country. He views the American flag as an iconic emblem of national pride. Wilson pays artistic homage to America’s proud strength and resiliency by creating a symbolic rendition of the flag that appears aged and weathered by history, but not damaged or torn in the process. Recognizable fragments of documents like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights appear to be woven into the very fabric of the red, white, and blue. This is a visual connection to the words that have come to define a special way of life. “As I have gotten older I find that I have a simple and strong sense of pride in my country,” Wilson explains, “this has inspired me to create Allegiance to symbolize the strength of our diversity, our shared connection to this country’s history, and the triumph of the American spirit over all challenges.”
