Moreover, it embodies the ethos of Street Pop Art, a genre that borrows from popular culture to create art that is both accessible and deeply meaningful. In Saber's hands, the flag sticker transforms into a manifesto, a declaration that art made on the streets by the hands of the many is as quintessentially American as the flag itself.
