One Hundred Florida Goldbacks | Libertas (Liberty)

Description

The Florida 100 Goldback features Libertas (Liberty), the capstone virtue that concludes each state series. She stands as a powerful symbol of freedom, a pursuit that is both timeless and universal. Libertas, inspired by the Roman goddess of freedom, is depicted as a formidable figure pulling a weathered ship through turbulent waters. The waves represent the dangers faced by those seeking liberty, and the weathered ship reflects the arduous journeys they took to escape tyranny. With a determined and compassionate disposition, Libertas embodies the resilience needed to reach a place of safety and opportunity.

This artwork is inspired by the story of Cuban immigration to Florida, which gained momentum in the 1950s as political and economic unrest swept through Cuba. The overthrow of Fulgencio Batista and the rise of Fidel Castro’s government in 1959 brought sweeping societal changes, marked by the loss of political freedoms, the seizure of private property, and harsh crackdowns on dissent. Facing persecution, many Cubans left everything behind, undertaking dangerous journeys across treacherous waters—often in fragile, makeshift boats—to reach the safety of Florida. These immigrants profoundly shaped the cultural and demographic landscape of Miami and Florida, transforming it into a refuge and a symbol of hope for those fleeing communism.

Libertas herself is adorned with meaningful symbols. The chains in her hand, broken but still visible, represent the struggles and sacrifices required to achieve liberty. Her flowing attire is embellished with star accents, symbolizing high ideals, while the North Star above her reinforces themes of hope and guidance. Around her neck, a key-shaped necklace signifies unlocking new possibilities and protecting freedom. Her seven-pointed crown, symbolizing the seven seas and continents, represents the universal hope for freedom across the world.

The shoreline reflects Florida’s coastal environment. Sea turtle hatchlings symbolize resilience and the continuation of life, while shells scattered along the shore symbolize protection. In the distance, the Cape Florida Lighthouse stands as a beacon of hope, mirroring the landmark that welcomed many Cuban exiles to Florida’s shores. At Libertas’s feet, her name is etched into stone, signifying the enduring and unbreakable nature of liberty.

Above the scene, a rocket launches into the sky, paying homage to Florida’s space legacy. The Apollo 11 mission launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 16, 1969. The rocket represents enlightenment, progress, and the pursuit of knowledge beyond known boundaries. A footprint in the sand commemorates the first human step on the moon, reflecting the triumph of human achievement. The moon above, casting a soft light on the scene, serves as both a guiding beacon and a reminder of humanity’s aspirations and boundless potential.

Together, these elements create a richly layered narrative that honors the courage required to overcome adversity, the relentless pursuit of freedom, and the boundless possibilities awaiting those who dare to seek a better life. This piece celebrates Florida’s legacy as a safe harbor, reminding viewers that, no matter the obstacles, the human spirit will always strive for liberty and new horizons.
