Artwork description:

The Statue of Liberty. Metaphysically surrounded by the dreams and hopes of millions of people who come to the US in search of freedom and a better life. This is one of the world's brightest symbols of the spirit of entrepreneurship and freedom, a point of internal support for many people not only in America, but also in the world. This artwork is made of a single extra long thread, symbolizing the unity of the idea through diversity of choices.

The original string art technique that created this art piece involves wrapping several kilometers of a continuous mono-thread around an evenly spaced circle of 280 aluminum pins. The thread cross, re-cross, and crisscross a circular area above the flat wooden board. The image within the circle is achieved by the painstaking and complex choice of thousands of connections between the pins. After the first 30 connections that make up the image, the number of possible knitting variants exceeds the number of atoms in the Universe! So it’s simply impossible to reproduce this artwork by guesswork or to untangle it with your mind...
