Watch Me Soar

The third of seven bronze sculptures created by artist, Gerald Griffin for his "Paradigm Shift series. The artworks in this series were created as visual interpretations of original poems written by the artist over a period of twenty five years. 
the figure of a Black woman standing atop a torn American flag with broken shackles and chains on her feet reflects the iconic Statue Of Liberty. 
Not only in its regal stature but also in it's continuation of the motif of the broken chains on the feet, as a symbol of liberty.
