The piece aims to represent the current climate of the United States as a nation. Using imagery from the Great Seal of the United states, the eagle now has two heads to represent a divided nation. The scroll represents a set of laws that constrain the eagle rather than uplift it. There is also a skewed distribution of arrows to olive branches, representing an emphasis on military might and judicial enforcement, while neglecting peace and global empathy.
