"Freedom’s Silhouette" honors the enduring fight

"Freedom’s Silhouette" honors the enduring fight for freedom, drawing inspiration from the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and the lives of 19th-century Concord residents Henry David Thoreau and Ellen Garrison. The installation features two 6-foot-long benches with acrylic silhouettes of Thoreau and Garrison. The transparent acrylic allows viewers to see their own reflection alongside these historical figures, fostering a deep connection to Concord’s heritage and broader themes of justice and freedom.
