Grounded in the Stars is a 12-foot (3.7 m)-tall bronze sculpture by British artist Thomas J Price.[1][2][3] It depicts a young black woman.[4][5][6]
In 2025, the sculpture was temporarily installed in Times Square as an exhibit scheduled to last from April 29 through June 17, 2025.[7][8][9][10] 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 has received a mixed reaction.[11]
