“ I am Queen Mary”

Entitled “I am Queen Mary, this “23-foot statue is inspired by Mary Thomas, a Caribbean woman who led a fiery 19th-century revolt against Danish colonial rule.

 

Seated on a wicker throne, the statue stares solemnly ahead, her head crowned in a head wrap, her feet bare, a torch in her left hand, a tool used to cut sugar cane in her right.” I was impressed by both the amazing work of art and the story behind the statue. It is found in Copenhagen, Denmark. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Thomas_(labor_leader)
