This striking silk painting by Zahra honours John F. Kennedy, a leader who transcended political divides and was loved by all Americans. Standing resolutely before a flowing U.S. flag, Kennedy’s figure is rendered in cool, monochromatic tones, his iconic sunglasses and sharp features outlined with Zahra’s signature golden wax detailing. The contrast between his stoic presence and the flag’s vibrant, dynamic reds, blues, and creams adds both depth and movement, reflecting the balance of strength and inspiration he brought to the nation.
