For me, the Statue of Liberty is more than a monument; it’s a symbol steeped in history and intertwined with hope, struggle, and the promise of new beginnings - the undiscovered country. By breaking the form into pixel-like fragments, I was able to reveal those layers and show how something so iconic can remain bold, complex, and ever-changing.
Liberty reimagines this enduring symbol through a contemporary, tactile lens. Each square becomes its own tiny world, full of ridges, breaks, and edges that catch the light differently depending on where you stand. Step back, and these fragments gather themselves into a familiar silhouette; come closer, and the image dissolves into a vibrant, textured abstraction. It’s a piece that invites your eye - and your mind - to move between the seen and the suggested, the known and the reimagined.
