REFLECTION 1. A thought, idea, or opinion formed or a remark made as a result of meditation:


The artist Sterling Ruby is known for his fabric dyeing and collage techniques and his artworks referencing American history and identity. His friendship with the Belgian designer Raf Simons prompted several fashion collaborations, and in 2019 Ruby presented his first solo fashion collection under the label S.R. Studio. LA. CA. In September 2020 he released the "Veil Flag," which was inspired by the political division in the United States ahead of the presidential election and the social justice movements that followed the murder of George Floyd. Ruby described the flag, stripped of its stars and stripes, as "a signifier in flux."
