Statue of Liberty Surveillance Cartoon - Privacy and Government Oversight Commentary #1893140 (License: Personal Use)

This 2013 political cartoon by Mike Keefe shows the Statue of Liberty leaning forward with an intense, watchful expression as two ordinary citizens walk past, one remarking on her unnerving gaze. The torch is replaced by a surveillance camera, subtly reinforcing the theme of oversight replacing liberty. The image uses exaggerated perspective and expressive linework to evoke discomfort and provoke reflection on civil liberties.
