"I designed the sculpture so that, if it was vandalized, it would still be the same message, because the vandalizers would literally be ending ICE. Art has a lot of impacts on people, and it's a very emotional message and cause."
"The 'ICE' part was knocked down first, so who knows, maybe it's someone who is against ICE, but then when the other part was taken down and the sign was trampled on, we felt otherwise."
A 24-foot ice sculpture reading 'END ICE' was created for a protest in Boston but was vandalized shortly after. Artist Kat Dressler designed it to convey a message even if damaged. The vandalism occurred hours after the protest, with initial damage reported by a bystander. Dressler, an army veteran, expressed the emotional impact of art on divisive issues like ICE. Police were notified but did not file a report. The motivation behind the vandalism remains unclear, with speculation about its political nature.
