“The plastic bag is a vessel for an ever-changing content”

Laboriously woven from thousands of plastic bags, each flag is drawn from countries that declared independence but no longer exist. Within the life span of a disposable plastic bag hundreds of nation states have formed and collapsed, the geopolitical map changed and reconfigured. In a world where the history of war and strife is predicated on nationalism and resources, the colorful flags convey the transient and impermanent nature of so-called national identity and value.
