In this release of 15 plexiglass trading cards, Flynn Forester has captured the essence of some important people that have made their mark on his being. Each person has been embodied in their own limited edition card. Each participant shared an object of importance with the artist and is represented by the text on the back of the cards. The colors used for each portrait are symbolic of the role they play in the artist’s life such as: parental, instructor, friend, and sibling. The symbolism reflected on each card is the visualization of the energy that each person brings. The series will expand as time continues.
Paper prints are available at the bottom of the page.
History is constantly being remade through the repetition of it in our present day lives. We learn of the Civil Rights Movement, Women’s Rights Movement, and Labor Union Strikes in our history classes as if they are a problem of the past. But these events are still occurring in our present day and will continue into our future. We are doomed to be repeating our mistakes in a world where wealth is valued more than lives. This website showcases the repeating of history in our present day through photos of protest, violence, and police brutality.
