Grounded in the Stars
Grounded in the Stars is a -tall bronze sculpture by British artist Thomas J Price. It depicts a young Black woman.
In 2025, the sculpture was temporarily installed in Times Square as an exhibit scheduled to last from April 29 through June 17, 2025. The sculpture's features are a combination of qualities that Price observed in Black women he came across. As explained in the description, Grounded in the Stars "disrupts traditional ideas around what defines a triumphant figure and challenges who should be rendered immortal through monumentalization."
The sculpture prompted brief online discourse about good and bad representation, specifically of Black women.
