Freedom is Beautiful, 2026

"Freedom is Beautiful" is the result of a commission by VU VI VO to the Supervivo Collective to support the efforts against human trafficking. The artist depicts freedom as a process from a state of captivity and oppression to one of liberation and illumination. Ultimately hope, the joy that comes with the morning.
 
The black and white tones, the impact, the provocative character of the piece are signature of the Supervivo style and approach to visual arts, represented in this case by Manuel Gallardo. It's the pursue of beauty even when it can be disrupting and surprising.

Unveiled January 2026 during an event in Tampa, FL.
