Window Pain

Blowing through a broken windowpane, this faded flag vainly tries to offer some privacy to those who reside within. The other flag stands motionless, secure behind the glass.

Flags are meant to instill pride, to identify whose side you are on. To some, flags represent conflict, distrust – their world turned upside down. In seeking seclusion, these flags can become a veil to hide behind, a thin gauze of an excuse to block the world out
