"art made politically" Wake up, America! by Jacquelin Bond


My first impression was the statue of liberty sleeping. It seems weird since to me, I feel like America never sleeps, politically. Roughly I think that the artist did this to note that the American youth do not participate in politics, especially voting. And she portrayed the statue of liberty as the American youth sleeping while the war within rages on. I really like this concept, for the statue of liberty is the essence of the people of America (even though it was a gift from France...)
