Freedom of the Human Spirit is a plaster sculpture made by Marshal Fredericks in 1964.
- The diagonals of the two people's bodies and birds give the sculpture a sense of motion. Because this sculpture is in the round, the smooth diagonal lines can be viewed from any angle.
- Conceptual unity draws this peace together. Because flight is associated with freedom, Fredericks is equating the freedom and flight of the people to that of graceful birds.
- The texture of this sculpture is very smooth, which matches the gliding and flying forms.
- The smaller base of the sculpture makes it feel as though the figures are shooting out and up. This leads you to focus on the figures that appear to be floating.
