*Artist Statement: Sophia Kuchar, March, 2020
I’ve been hard at work on a digital art entry during the quarantine as something to keep me occupied. I’ve attached my entry here (hopefully the quality doesn’t drop too much). As someone who enjoys geography, vexillology, and other cultures in general, this meant a lot to me. It was fun to work on! It took almost 23 hours in total, and more than 19 of those hours were spent drawing the flags. If I counted correctly, there are 197 flags shown here of every widely-recognized country (and some territories, too!). This felt like a nice way to unite the world together in a picture. I know how it feels to have heritage from a country that people don’t really pay attention to, and therefore rarely see represented (Slovakia). So, I put in the effort to include (what is hopefully) every country’s flag, albeit some were altered to fit the mold. They’re mostly organized by continent, so an Asian country, for example, will be near other Asian countries. How many do you recognize? There’s several little Easter eggs, like how Russia is in between Europe and Asia, or how North Korea is extremely secretive and is hidden somewhere.

Some of the people I regularly talk to speak multiple languages, so I had them in mind while drawing this. I have two friends who fluently speak Portuguese and English, and a Slovakian cousin who’s learning English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and who knows what else. I text them more often now because of the free time from quarantine.
