Liberty Pride

This Ana Inciardi mini print layers the Progress Pride flag with a torch-bearing mascot shield marked with the letters N and H, rendered in bold relief-print lines against the flag's full spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple stripes. The chevron section on the left incorporates the black, brown, light blue, pink, and white stripes associated with intersex, racial, and transgender representation, and a ringed intersex symbol appears in a circle at the far left. The mascot, a crowned figure holding a flaming torch above a basketball, sits at the center right in dark ink with green and gold accents. The New Jersey Nets, later the Brooklyn Nets, played for years in the Meadowlands area before relocating, and various New Jersey teams have used liberty-themed mascots over the decades. The torch and crown imagery connects broadly to New Jersey's identity and its proximity to the Statue of Liberty. Collectors drawn to sports-themed or community-celebration subjects find this print particularly compelling because it merges local identity with a broader social statement in a single compact composition. The hand-printed texture, visible grain, and slightly imperfect ink coverage give it the tactile quality that draws collectors to Inciardi's work generally. It pairs naturally with her other New York prints and New Jersey-adjacent subjects, and fits comfortably alongside any pieces in her catalog that engage with urban identity and community representation. The deliberate simplicity of the relief process amplifies rather than reduces the complexity of what the image communicates.
