“Daughters of Freedom” by David Allen Burns and Austin Young / Fallen Fruit (https://fallenfruit.org/)

“Daughters of Freedom” is created in honor of women’s rights, in support of equality and freedom; the freedom to be who you are, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, and to be recognized with equality, equity, and respect by everyone (including the government). The highest form of humanity resides in all people, all of the time -- and together, we make the world an extraordinary place. The world is a continual collaboration of all living things that requires full and equal participation.

Venus Di Milo within a pattern of roses and a soundscape of birds and early American suffragette song. The statue represents the feminine, silent beauty, and persistence of power -- however her arms are missing. The roses symbolize many things; romance, love, beauty, courage, purity, gratitude, friendship, and new beginnings -- many of the ideals of Western Culture.

“Daughters of freedom arise in your might! March to the watchwords Justice and Right! Why will ye slumber? wake, O wake! Lo! on your legions light doth break! Sunder the fetters "custom" hath made! Come from the valley, hill and glade!”- George Cooper , 1870
