Art Installation: I Don't See Color

Art Title: "I Don't See Color"

Artist: Hasaan Kirkland

"I Don't See Color", is a 5' x 9' conceptual abstract assemblage of wood, solar LED and powered lights, chicken wire, and light reflective CD's. This 3-dimensional, temporary public work of art is made to symbolize the American Flag. The function and metaphoric context of this work operates both as a prism capturing natural light returning to the viewer the natural colors as well as a prism of identity, equity, and equality, returning to the viewer the colors of diverse cultures. No longer a barrier to see color through racial ideologies of individuals, "I Don't See Color", forces its viewers to see the American Flag shifted from "stars and bars" in red, white, and blue, into circular shapes, linear patterns, and lights, displaying the colorless light of humanity allowing us to see each other beyond the colors of our diversity.
