Sculpture by New York artist Deborah Kass

A snow-globe interpretation of the original bright yellow aluminum statue is creative wordplay using just two letters with several meanings. One side says "YO," referencing the attention-getting phrase used throughout the world, as well as "OY," a popular Yiddish phrase used in Jewish and American culture. 

"I created OY/YO thinking about the American promise of equality and fairness and our responsibilities to make the country a better place for all," says Kass. "It's urgent to see our commonalities, what we share, and what brings us together."
