The Bedford Flag and the Ace of Swords, 2025
Digital print on canvas with handmade frame
Outer dimension: 13.5” x 20.5” x 1.5”
The Bedford Flag is considered the oldest known flag in the United States, associated with the Minutemen of Bedford, Massachusetts, during the early battles of the American Revolution. Visually, it features a silver arm emerging from clouds, wielding a sword, with the Latin motto “Vince Aut Morire” - “Conquer or Die.”
The Ace of Swords in Tarot shows a sword lifted from the clouds, a gift of truth, clarity, and strength. It marks a moment of decisive action, cutting through illusion to create victory and a new beginning.
This piece invites reflection on how ancient symbols of transformation shaped the American Revolution, a time when ideals demanded courage, and a new nation was carved from boldness and vision.
The Hidden Path of Thirteen Six-Pointed Stars, 2025
Folded tarot cards (Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck), pushpins, magnets
Folded Tarot cards, wall installation
Dimensions: 47.5” x 74” x 1.75”
This piece reimagines George Washington’s personal flag, thirteen six-pointed stars in a circle as a constellation of inner transformation. Each star is composed of six Tarot cards, carefully folded to form radiant points. Altogether, 78 cards matching the full Tarot deck are embedded in the pattern, linking the founding of a nation to the esoteric journey of self-discovery.
In sacred geometry, the six-pointed star, or hexagram, symbolizes the union of opposites: spirit and matter, intuition and logic, above and below. By merging this with the revolutionary banner of Washington, the piece suggests that the American experiment was not just political, but spiritual, a break from external rule in pursuit of personal sovereignty and collective enlightenment.
The Hidden Path invites viewers to consider: What lies beneath the symbols of our nation? And what inner revolution must we undertake to carry its ideals forward?
The Seventy-Eight-Pointed Star, 2025
Folded tarot cards (Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck), wood with plexiglass case.
13” x 13” x4.75”
This piece brings together all 78 cards of the Tarot, Major and Minor Arcana each carefully folded to form a single point in a massive, radiant star. United, they become a singular mandala of symbolic knowledge, memory, and experience.
Each point represents a facet of human life: joy, struggle, transformation, love, loss, insight. By folding them into one, The Seventy-Eight-Pointed Star becomes a meditation on wholeness, the idea that wisdom is not found in any one card, but in the integration of all.
Drawing from esoteric traditions, this piece echoes the American motto E Pluribus Unum from many, one and reflects the deeper revolutionary ideal of inner unity and self-discovery. It asks: What happens when we bring every piece of ourselves into alignment? Can the full deck become a compass?
The Fool and the Unfinished Pyramid, 2025
Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck, Ultralight MDF and wood.
41.5” x 60” x 1.75”
This sculptural work features 77 stacked blocks forming a stepped pyramid. Each brick embedded with a Tarot card. Rising above them all is a final, solitary block set apart: The Fool card. Like the floating Eye above the unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States, it represents vision, potential, and the path ahead.
In the Tarot, the Fool is the beginning and the end, the seeker at zero, unburdened by the past, open to all possibilities. Here, it stands as the spirit of revolution and transformation: the courage to break from old systems and imagine something entirely new.
The 77 bricks below suggest a foundation built from human experience, joy, struggle, conflict, growth. But the work is intentionally incomplete, like the pyramid on the dollar bill. It gestures upward, asking: What remains unfinished in us? What must we still build?
True freedom lies not in completion, but in the willingness to keep building, to keep reflecting to walk the Fool’s path through the archetypal journey of the Tarot. This is both an individual process of awakening and a collective unfolding of cultural transformation. The Fool and the Unfinished Pyramid invites us to see ourselves as part of this ever-evolving story, each of us a builder of the next layer.
Anahata (Heart Chakra), 2025
Digital print on canvas with handmade frame
14” x 9” x 1.5
This piece reinterprets the constellation of 13 stars above the eagle in the Great Seal of the United States as a heart chakra. In yogic philosophy, Anahata, the “unstruck” or “unhurt” center represents love, compassion, and the meeting point between body and spirit.
What if this constellation was more than decoration? What if it was a map to the nation’s true center? The 13 stars echo the sacred geometry of the heart chakra: two interlocking triangles forming a radiant hexagram, or six pointed star, a symbol of harmony, inner balance, and the union of opposites.
Both the Anahata symbol and the Great Seal appear in green. Green is the color of the heart in the chakra system, the center of the rainbow, and the visual midpoint of the light spectrum. It is also the color of American currency linking value, emotion, and aspiration.
By aligning these ancient and national symbols, this work proposes a quiet but radical idea: that the heart, not force, should be America’s true compass. That freedom, empathy, and balance are not weaknesses, but guiding principles. That the center of the nation might also be the center of ourselves.
