The sculpture rises as a fractured crown, recalling the Statue of Liberty yet rendered in a state of thaw, as though carved from melting ice. It becomes a potent emblem of our era—liberty itself dissolving under the pressure of environmental change. The work juxtaposes beauty and decay, resilience and collapse, urging viewers to reflect on both the fragility of ecosystems and the shifting meaning of freedom.

Meticulously crafted, the piece transforms a familiar icon into a layered narrative about transformation and survival. Gilded details and embedded natural forms heighten its dual nature, radiant yet vulnerable, enduring yet eroded. Through its bold exploration of form and idea, Thawed Liberty provokes dialogue about our shared responsibility: how to preserve not only the monuments we revere, but also the living world they depend upon. It is at once tribute and cautionary echo, a meditation on cycles of history, climate, and the ideals we hold in trust.
