Title: “Shade of Freedom”
Artist: Vira Sun
Medium: Bamboo and polarized lenses
Provenance: Delivered with stoke and style by Greg—who skateboarded up and down the steep hills of Highlands, NJ, alongside Dani and their loyal dog Jersey—this gift arrived as more than just a drop-off. It was a ride powered by community, sunshine, and joy.
Collection: Camp Freedom Community Commissions
Description:
With golden bamboo arms and mirrored, polarized lenses that shimmer like salt spray under a summer sun, these Vira Sun sunglasses are both a functional tool and a sculptural object. Their elegant grain, featherlight balance, and beach-tested durability make them as much a work of design art as a piece of gear.
Perfect for boating, wake surfing, mountain biking, e-biking to a dawn patrol surf session, or just soaking in the skyline from the ferry, they offer UV400 protection wrapped in a minimalist frame that honors the natural world. Worn, they transform your outlook—filtering glare and sharpening focus while radiating effortless cool.
This generous donation to the Free Little Art Gallery marks a turning point in its evolution: expanding from visual miniatures into the realm of wearable, functional art. With this piece, the gallery celebrates objects that don’t just hang on walls, but move with us—protecting our vision, elevating our style, and reminding us that art is everywhere, even in the gear we grab on our way out the door.
