The Gay Liberation Monument

Gay Liberation by George Segal
1980 Sculpture measures life size
George Segal is sculptor that was born in New York City in November 1924. He is best associated with the pop art movement and his cast life size figures. His figures never contain any color which leaves his figures looking melancholy.

I chose this image because now is a very trying time for people in the gay community, as its always been and this sculpture seems to try and aim to get confidence out of the gay community to feel more comfortable in their own skin, and to be happy with who you are.
