Torch Girl Stomps the Wall and Reunites Families, Therese Verner, 2018, mixed media, 24 x 30 in. / 60.96 x 76.2 cm.

This piece was inspired by recent political events, and by the Statue of Liberty's poem . My concept of the statue was a punk "Torch Girl" coming down from her pedestal to stomp the wall. Her poem, written in ink on watercolor paper, flies out from the tablet she carries.
