Focus on Light of Freedom and discuss the Reception.
Light of Freedom was widely acclaimed after its unveiling. Writing in the Observer, journalist Helen Holmes said that DeVille's use of the torch motif was "challenging us to look hard at the flimsiness of the lies we’ve been told about who has been allowed to be truly free." Curator and critic Lilly Wei described the work as "much more accessible than most monuments, able to be seen almost at eye level, transforming it from a lofty ideal to something more mundane: liberty and justice as an ordinary right within reach of all" in Studio International.
