Title:
Statue of Liberty’s Last Tide: A Call for Planetary...

Description:
The future hinges on the choices we make today. The Statue of Liberty, a timeless emblem of hope and resilience, stands against a fiery sunset—her silhouette unwavering yet haunted by encroaching waves of smoke and shadow. This uneasy juxtaposition of beauty and foreboding speaks to the fragile state of our world. What we see is not just the fading light of a day but the dimming of a future that hangs in the balance. From the deck of the Staten Island Ferry—where movement and connection shape our perspective—the waters remain calm for now. But how long until they rise beyond control, swallowing not just the shores of New York but the ideals this monument embodies? The dark waves swelling in the sky serve as a spectre of climate change, a warning of floods, pollution, and rising tides that threaten to consume our past, our present, and our collective future.
