Matthew Day Jackson's *Missing Link (Lady Liberty)* is part of his expansive *Dymaxion Series*, which draws on Buckminster Fuller's visionary geodesic mapping systems to explore themes of American mythology, progress, and decline. The work reimagines the iconic Statue of Liberty as a fragmented or reconstructed figure, situating her within Jackson's broader investigation of monuments, history, and the contested narratives of civilization. Through his use of mixed materials and conceptual layering, Jackson interrogates the ideals and failures embedded in national symbols.
