This piece is one of a 12-piece series of mixed-media paintings. The series combines batik, the ancient medium of textile design, with the ultramodern technique of color xerography. The following quote is integrated into the painting at the bottom of the work: "Each man comes back (to earth) with a feeling he is no longer only an American citizen; he is a planetary citizen." Planetary Citizen is Mannos signature piece and has been exhibited at NASM in the exhibition 'Art of the Cosmos' in 1991.
