This subversive sculpture is a parody of the classic Statue of Liberty, reinterpreting the complex meaning of "freedom" through exaggerated body language - middle finger raised.
It could have been born from a modern art movement, aiming to satirize political hypocrisy, consumerism or the false promise of freedom.
The statue is by no means a denial of the original, but a poignant question: Is the freedom we speak of really as glorious as the statue?
- Different from the solemnity of the original, it may have an ironic, angry or playful look.
- The iconic torch is replaced with the middle finger, subverting the classic and bringing with it a sarcastic attribute.
- Traditional elements such as the goddess crown and robe folds are retained, which is absurd yet artistic.
- Put it on the table, send it to friends, and express all dissatisfaction with silent gestures.
Symbolic meaning
- Challenging authority - directly targeting the government, system or cultural hegemony.
- The other side of freedom - questioning whether "freedom" is truly realized or has become an empty slogan.
- Deconstruction of popular culture - using humor and offensive gestures to trigger public discussion.
