This is my response to Donald Trump as US President and the unsatisfactoriness it will induce. Dukkha, suffering, is the first noble truth of Buddhism which is represented by the many faces of America drawn in pencil (so all faces are unified). The collage lotus, faint in the background, lit up at times and invisible at times by the blinking LED lights, symbolizes detachment and purity, which is still possible in our future world.
