Sara Rahbar at NADA HOUSE: House 404a, Second Floor

Sara Rahbar’s Flags series explores the iconography of the American flag as an examination of her personal, emotional attachment to the country. She delves into the concept of the American Dream, and employs traditional fabrics to assemble textile collages of American and Iranian flags, which Rahbar considers ways in which a symbol of patriotism and independence can simultaneously represent ideological and nationalistic discourse.
