Artwork Description:
National Interests presents a map of the world rendered in a red color scheme, with designer brands replacing traditional city and country symbols. The work suggests that the United States' national interests are reflected in the global distribution of American brands. It posits that contemporary geopolitical power is increasingly determined by trade dominance and the capacity to form expansive alliances.
