Thousands of flags flooding the National Mall is stunning, and the reason for them is moving
The "Field of Flags" is illuminated on the National Mall as the U.S Capitol Building is prepared for the inauguration ceremonies for President-elect Joe Biden on January 18, 2021 in Washington, DC. One of the first glimpses of Bidenโs inauguration was revealed Monday night, when thousands of U.S. state and territory flags were set across the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol with lights beaming on them. *Check out our art installation of nearly 200,000 state and territory flags accompanied by 56 pillars of light ๐คฉWe canโt wait for this to be showcased on #InaugurationDay! Itโs a stunning art installation, and people on Twitter are already praising it for being super creative and incredibly moving.
