Statuesque



Whether sunny or shady,
You'll find this leafy lady
Watching Chicago's sky
Go by.

Update: The artist says, "The garden is about Daphne. She was running away from Apollo who wanted to capture her. She had run out of options. She called upon her father, the river god, to help her. He turned her into a laurel tree to save her from Apollo. The garden is celebrating the moment she realized she was free. She surrendered to the unknown and attained freedom."
