This painting is a synthesis of the vibe in the US after September 11, 2001. It is one of my earliest paintings. All of my paintings from 2001-2002 were focused on this vibe. Many Americans felt anxious, and the feeling was palpable. On this July 4th weekend, it would be great if every person not of color could acknowledge that brown people feel this type of anxiety all the time.
