Artwork Description:
National Interests is a painting of a map of our planet rendered in a striking red color scheme, with dominant designer brands replacing cities and countries. The red hue intensifies the politics of brand domination, symbolizing both the aggression and the passion associated with trade and influence. As the vivid color washes over the globe, it highlights the USA's National Interests in regions where American brands proliferate, suggesting an empire built not only by military might but by commercial reach. In this landscape of chromatic intensity, trade domination is portrayed as the ultimate victory for any nation, allowing for greater international unity and the capacity to forge expansive alliances.
