"For the century that the Statue of Liberty has stood in New York Harbor, it has meant many things to the people who see it – hope, compassion, a promise for justice, a declaration of freedom. While these are qualities that we strive for as a country, they can also operate as myths that we hide behind, broadcasting them as true even when they are not.
The paintings in this series use our shared familiarity with the Statue to explore questions about our country’s identity and its contradictions. The images use folded paper and transparency to fragment the Statue, rendering the flat image into 3 dimensions. The folding allows a look at both the surface and what might be underneath, altering an image we know so well."
- Diana Zipeto
