The project was in San Predro California at Harborview and Pole which hosts an ongoing series of artist designed flags.

November 8th, 2020 to January 20, 2021 (Inauguration Day).
This final flag of the series, titled “Hoister’s Dilemma,” the flag bears the image of a high definition television displaying an American flag prominently placed in a living room. However, the room is inverted in relationship to the flag depicted on the screen, thus leaving the decision of whether to hang the flag so that the image of the American flag appears right side up or alternatively to orient the living room right side up, leaving the depiction of the American flag upside down, entirely up the hoister.
