Resilience in Distress

30×40 oil on canvas Resilience in Distress by Le’Ana Asher is a powerful painting that depicts a Native American ribbon dress adorned with vibrant ribbons and jingles. The dress features the bold colors of an upside-down American flag—red, white, and blue—symbolizing protest, cultural pride, and resilience. Each jingle represents prayers for healing, while their shadows evoke the lasting impacts of colonialism and injustice. This artwork invites viewers to reflect on Indigenous identity, the struggle for justice, and the enduring strength of Native American cultures.
