The Statue of Liberty has been a subject of inspiration since high school for me. The following pieces mark a journey of greater understanding concerning what she represents.

Graphite and colored pencil. "Opposing Forces". 2001
In this college assignment, at UAA we were asked to weave together two magazine images that were 'oposites' and then draw the weave. The 2 images I chose were Osama Bin Laden and Lady Liberty.
It's interesting that many who see this drawing at my home (over 10 years after the terrorist attacks) recognize the red face as Jesus. |

*What's with the broken limbs?* See 1 Samuel 5: |
Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the temple of Dagon and set it by Dagon. And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set it in its place again. And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only Dagon’s torso was left of it. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
