Texas: A Legacy of Strength, Innovation, and Resilience

A deactivated AK-47 embellished in butterflies with 7.62mm glass bullets.

Texas has been the backdrop of some of the most defining moments in American history—events that have shaped the spirit, determination, and identity of its people. This artwork is a tribute to the Texas Flag and the rich layers of history woven into the fabric of the Lone Star State.

It honors the Native tribes who first called this land home, the abolition of slavery, and the bravery of African-American cowboys who helped shape the frontier. It pays tribute to the Texas Rangers, whose courage and service became legendary, and acknowledges the resilience, triumphs, and hardships that have defined generations.

Beyond its past, Texas is a symbol of progress—from the expansion of the railroads that connected communities to the cutting-edge space exploration technology at NASA in Houston. It stands as a beacon of innovation, industry, and ambition, where the people of today and tomorrow continue to push boundaries and redefine what is possible.

This piece is more than an artwork—it’s a reflection of Texas itself: bold, fearless, and deeply rooted in history while always looking toward the future.
