Libertas

• Personal Project

“Libertas” celebrates the concept of liberty and the power of the human spirit. The piece features a spiraled sculpture that holds a fist in the air, symbolizing the timeless gesture of defiance and resistance.

The fist in the air has a long history as a symbol of liberty and rebellion, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was used as a symbol of defiance against oppressive rulers. In the modern era, the fist in the air became synonymous with the civil rights movement, with figures like Malcolm X and Angela Davis using the gesture to call attention to issues of racial injustice and inequality.

In “Libertas,” the fist in the air represents the power of the human spirit and the fight for freedom and equality. The spiraled sculpture that holds the fist is a symbol of the continuous struggle for liberty, as the fight for justice and equality is an ongoing process that requires persistence and dedication.

The use of spiral in the sculpture also adds a sense of movement and energy to the artwork. The spiral is a universal symbol of growth and evolution, representing the cyclical nature of life and the continuous process of change and transformation.

Overall, “Libertas” is a powerful representation of the struggle for liberty and the power of the human spirit. The artwork invites the viewer to reflect on the historical and cultural significance of the fist in the air as a symbol of defiance and resistance, and to consider the ongoing fight for justice and equality in our world today.
