It's not that crazy if you think about it. For one, independence is usually the result of war, so to manipulate/reinterpret the explosive imagery from warfare into something beautiful/celebratory allows you to kinda observe the occasion with beautiful imagery while also paying homage and recognizing what got you there.
It's actually pretty dope if you think about it that way. Thanks.
