Description

The Statue of Liberty Swimming by Berta Jayo is an ironic and poetic artwork that imagines the Statue of Liberty moving through the water instead of standing firmly on its pedestal. By placing this famous symbol of freedom in a vulnerable and unstable situation, the artist invites viewers to reflect on migration, borders, human rights, and the fragile nature of liberty. The work combines humor and social criticism, encouraging us to question fixed ideas about identity, belonging, and freedom in today’s world.
