While scrolling through Facebook in the weeks after City of Southlake employee Darlene Rubio's death, Hill came across a painting by artist Gayle Bunch of the nation's flag covered with words related to the pandemic. Bunch said the pandemic and her college professors at Texas Woman's University inspired her to paint the flag. "I loved when my instructors would have art that recorded history because they didn't have photographs," Bunch said. "So I got to thinking about how artists record, and I thought, well, this is a good time to do that. We're becoming so together as a nation from coast to coast. [The pandemic] made us more together than anything we've had in a long time."
