"Banner is a reference to the Tiananmen incident. Bamboo, an Asian icon, serves as flagpole, with a spill of red twine cascading one side, while more twine is fashioned into a procession of funeral flowers on the opposite border. Against a backdrop of predominant black and bloody red, they further allude to the harsh elements of massacre."
