Thomas J. Price's bronze sculpture, Grounded in the Stars, stands in Manhattan's Times Square, encouraging visitors to reflect amidst the area's sensory chaos. Positioned at street level, the 12ft-tall figure presents a modern woman in a classic pose, promoting a contrasting pace of introspection. Price emphasizes that this piece critiques traditional monuments and the overwhelming attention economy. His work, showcased with Times Square Arts, aims to provide a moment of pause for tourists and locals alike, fostering contemplation in a bustling environment.
Grounded in the Stars is a little bit like a beacon for reminding us about a different pace, and for reminding us about a different process.
It gives people time to reflect on an object.
This doesn't look like that; it’s somebody who I believe embodies an incredible energy which can rival Times Square, but it's delivered at a pace.
It critiques Times Square a little bit.
