"American Dream - Burnt In The USA" draws inspiration from the events that occurred on Capitol Hill, offering a provocative reflection on the themes of nationalism and political violence.
The iconic Coca Cola glass bottle, emblem of the American way of life, is transformed into a weapon: a Molotov cocktail ready to explode with a fuse made of stars and stripes fabric.
This visual representation highlights the paradox of the American Dream, traditionally associated with the idea of opportunity and success, but here interpreted as a corrupt and incendiary dream. National flags become instruments of destruction, while the very concept of patriotism dissolves into an act of violence.
"American Dream - Burnt In The USA" invites the viewer to reflect on the implications of nationalism, the devastating potential of extreme ideologies and the fragility of the so-called "American dream".
