Red White and Blue Bot reconstructs the American flag using over 20,000 preserved blue bottle flies arranged on stretched white canvas and encased in plexiglass. Associated with decay and biological transformation, the flies introduce material instability into a symbol traditionally associated with endurance and permanence.

The title references mimicry and artificial construction, positioning the flag as a system composed of repeated, interchangeable units. Displayed horizontally, the work resembles a preserved specimen, reframing the flag as an object of examination rather than reverence. The piece considers how national identity is constructed, maintained, and circulated through symbolic repetition.

The production process required developing methods to cultivate and preserve the flies at scale, foregrounding the intersection of biological process and material fabrication. This approach raises questions about extraction, labor, and ethical responsibility within artistic production, extending the work beyond symbolism into structural and procedural inquiry.
