Artist, Ho-Chunk Nation, born 1964

The image displays an upper half view of a man's body, capturing him from the waist up. He is in a forward-leaning pose with his arms bent at the elbows, fists clenched near his sides. His facial expression is determined, and he has short, wavy hair. He is wearing dark swim trunks. The background depicts a stormy ocean scene with large crashing waves. The overall image has a vintage aesthetic, with a sepia-toned seascape behind the man. The words "Dear America" are written over the image, "Dear" in the top left corner and "America" along the bottom center of the photo.
