Viral Valor reimagines the iconic flag-raising composition of the Iwo Jima Memorial for the social-media age. In place of soldiers raising a flag, figures move together with phones held high, capturing, sharing and broadcasting the moment. The painting plays with our changing ideas of visibility, participation and valor and asks what it means when witnessing history and performing for an audience begin to look the same.
