“Made Elsewhere” Project, mixed media 2x8ft, 2018 As an artist in residence at the Boston Center for the Arts, I created this piece as an homage to the original design of Lady Liberty. To address the Trump's Muslim Ban, I used found materials made outside of the US and flags of the banned Muslim countries to recreate the original statue which is the depiction of an Egyptian woman by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.This temporary public sculpture highlighted themes and issues of immigration, home and belonging. This repurposed sculpture based out of recycled materials was based on the original design of lady liberty to highlight immigrant and refugee labor during Trump’s Muslim ban.
