In "Lady Liberty 1," Glen Wilbert photographs the Statue of Liberty from directly below, framing the raised right arm and the underside of the torch against a pale blue sky, with one point of the crown rising at the lower right.
The image isolates a single gesture, the upstretched arm holding the torch, so the familiar monument becomes one strong diagonal reaching across the frame. The patinated copper reads in soft mint green, lit evenly against the cool sky so the folds of the sleeve and the platform of the torch stand out in gentle relief. Glen's low, tilted vantage crops away the rest of the statue, leaving only the arm, the torch, and a spike of the crown.
The Statue of Liberty, on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, is among the most recognized monuments in the world. Glen photographs it as a cropped detail rather than the whole figure, focusing on the raised arm alone.
A study in pastel color and gesture, where a famous monument is reduced to a single reaching line.
