An Italian artist, Dario Gambarin, known for his earthwork pieces, had a pretty neat work of art to commemorate America’s 250th birthday. Using a tractor, he wrote, "UNITED," "WE STAND," "AMERICA'S 250th," and the dates "1776–2026” in the field.

He’s done other works, like making an Eiffel Tower for the 2024 Olympics, and yes, he did some for Greta Thunberg, but we’ll ignore those.
