The outline of a person filled with the pattern of the United States flag – the stars on a blue background on the right half, and red and white stripes on the left. The figure stands against a quilted backdrop with the same small protrusions as the first artwork. Below the figure, the quilt transitions into a dark blue color with two peace symbols outlined in white, resembling footprints. The peace symbols, reminiscent of paw prints, rest upon what looks like a puddle or shadow, suggesting a statement on American identity and peace.
