Using the flag as a recurrent motif throughout her work, Sara Rahbar explores ideas of nationalism, ideology and belonging. In works such as the series "Flags", 2005–11, in which traditional fabrics are reworked to create textile collages of American and Iranian flags, Rahbar considers the ways in which a symbol of patriotism and independence can simultaneously represent ideological and nationalistic violence.
