This is an oil based print on acid free printmaking paper. I chose this image as a gift to the patriotism shown by our fire fighters. The flower is a gift. Directly after the attack on the twin towers people flew our flag, it was our symbol of patriotism and strength. Red white and blue are our nations colors, I chose them to symbolize this moment in history. In essence, yes, it is symbolic of our flag and a flower as well.
