The Statue of Liberty has always represented more to me than a monument. She carries layers of hope, struggle, freedom, belonging, and the promise of a new beginning. In the Liberty Series, I take this instantly recognizable symbol and break it apart, rebuilding it through hundreds of individually stamped squares on a deeply textured surface.
From across the room, L-Yellow gathers those fragments into the familiar silhouette of the Statue of Liberty. Come closer, and the image begins to dissolve. Individual squares, ridges, breaks, and variations in the surface reveal themselves, asking you to slow down and look again. The painting changes with your distance - and with your attention.
L-Yellow gives this interpretation of the Statue of Liberty a feeling of light, optimism, warmth, and possibility. It speaks to the hopeful side of freedom - the belief that a new beginning can open the door to something brighter. The luminous yellow draws the eye into the painting, creating a sense of energy and quiet optimism that can shift the atmosphere of a space.
Perhaps that is what makes the Statue of Liberty such a lasting symbol: we each bring our own history, hopes, memories, and understanding to her. Freedom may be a shared ideal, but the hope and possibilities it represents are deeply personal.
Living with L-Yellow is an invitation to keep looking - to discover something familiar from across the room, something unexpected up close, and perhaps a little reminder of hope and possibility each time you see it.
L-Yellow is the fourth of six paintings in the Liberty Series, each exploring the same enduring symbol through a different color and emotional perspective.
*Please note that this piece is part of an ongoing exhibition and it has to stay on display until 12/30/2026.
