Declaration (Clinton) captures a stylized moment from a presidential address—Bill Clinton framed by flags, seal, and stage lighting. The image is digitally altered, rendered in high contrast and saturated tones. It doesn’t document a speech. It isolates the performance of power.

At 5" x 7", the scale is intimate—suggesting a relic, a fragment, a preserved gesture. But the conceptual weight is outsized. Within The Triumph of Romanticism, this piece reframes political speech as emotional theater. Clinton’s posture becomes choreography. The backdrop becomes set design. The moment becomes myth.

This is not a portrait. It’s a broadcast relic—an artifact of Romantic authority, staged and stylized for belief.
