Original artwork description:

New Colossus II is a striking re-imagining of the Statue of Liberty, crafted from polished brass and steel, encased within vertical rebar bars anchored by substantial concrete blocks above and below. The abstract, tall figure emerges from its cage, a powerful symbol reflecting the challenges and confinement faced by immigrants today. Its sleek, polished form contrasts sharply with the raw, industrial cage, evoking themes of hope, resilience, and the tension between freedom and restriction.

Materials used:

Steel and concrete
