California - We Are The People - Colorful Faces Mug

This original artwork comes from a giant 15 foot jigsaw puzzle of the United States of America featuring the colorful faces of the American people depicted in fun and flamboyant colors. The artist Deprise loves color and that is reflected in her rendition of the American people product designs. Here is a write up on the original artwork itself. This giant wooden jigsaw puzzle of the United States of America measures 15' x 9'. It is a hanging art installation that links the United States together like a mesh net giving space between the individual states allowing for their independence and freedom within the piece as a whole. The entire installation is titled, 'We Are The People". The acrylic mural painting that graces the front of the giant jigsaw puzzle is titled, "The Faces of Freedom". It represents all of us. We come in every color, every gender, every size, every shape and personality. We are one family of Americans and together we must work through our growing pains with peace, love and unity. We are one. We are the 'Faces of Freedom'. The back side of the giant jigsaw puzzle features the American flag and the US Constitution in Scrabble or Crossword form painted in acrylic, symbolizing the deconstruction and reconstruction of the Constitution. It is a commentary and illustration of what is currently happening in our country.​
