A diverse group of people encircles the spark of the Fourth of July. This concept captures the healing power of kindness and the guiding light of truth and justice, represented by a central sparkler radiating energy through the community. The composition gradually evolves into the shape of a larger sparkler—symbolizing warmth, celebration, and togetherness. As the sparkler radiates outward, it visually reinforces how truth and kindness create a ripple effect that lights up the entire community.“
