While I and l assume Lady Liberty would have been familiar to the protestors, the statue erected in the square really has a style all her own IMO, and is generally referenced as The Goddess of Democracy / 自由女神. I appreciate how her pose is a moment of action, urging the torch upwards, unafraid and optimistic, as opposed to the stoic watchkeeper of New Yorks harbor. She is also referenced in my favorite protest art to come out of the Umbrella revolution in Hong Kong, see here: https://china-underground.com/2019/09/03/interview-with-oliver-chang-author-of-the-goddess-of-democracy/ https://china-underground.com/2019/09/03/interview-with-oliv... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddess_of_Democracy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddess_of_Democracy
