Resilient Blossoms

Artist Statement

The imagery in this flag is reflective of the moment of growth that occurs during difficult times. This year we have all been forced outside our personal routines, mindsets, and comfort zones. We’ve been forced to look inward and examine the chambers of our minds and homes. If you trust the experience, you will grow and break the confinement of your previous self and what a beautiful thing that can be.
