Artist: B. Pazant
A solitary Black figure stands in silhouette, his raised fist cutting through a weathered American flag that fills the wall behind him. Rendered in stark contrast, the body is reduced to form and gesture—an assertion rather than a portrait. The flag, distressed and uneven, reads not as celebration but as surface: worn, imposed, unavoidable.
The runner’s number, 307, anchors the image in historical specificity, marking a moment when participation in the nation’s systems collided with refusal to be diminished by them. The fist, dark and uncompromising, interrupts the stars and stripes, asserting dignity where erasure was expected.
This work resists resolution. It offers no harmony between figure and flag, only coexistence under pressure. The stance is not triumphant, but unwavering. The gesture does not explain itself—it endures.
Still — despite this is an image of survival as posture, dignity as refusal, and presence as an act of quiet defiance.
