Freedom Sculpture, Public sculpture on Santa Monica Boulevard, Century City, United States.

The Freedom Sculpture, also titled Freedom: A Shared Dream, is a 20,400-pound work in stainless steel, gold and silver by architect Cecil Balmond. Two water jet-cut double cylinders, gold inside and silver outside, are held by two 15-foot-diameter stainless steel half-rings on a travertine platform with lighting. It stands on the Santa Monica Boulevard median in Century City.

The sculpture was commissioned by the Farhang Foundation, which chose Cecil Balmond's design from more than 300 entries worldwide. It was inspired by the Cyrus Cylinder, a 2,500-year-old clay record from the reign of Cyrus the Great of ancient Iran, which some regard as an early declaration of human rights. The finished work was donated to the City of Los Angeles and unveiled on July 4, 2017, before a crowd of over 75,000.

The sculpture was selected to represent Iranian culture in Los Angeles through public art, chosen from hundreds of international design proposals. The cylindrical forms tell a story about human rights and religious tolerance that connects to Persian heritage.

The sculpture is best viewed from Santa Monica Boulevard while driving at normal speeds, making it easy to see from the road. The location is accessible and designed to be appreciated from a vehicle without needing to stop.

The project was financed through a crowdfunding model that gathered contributions from the community and major supporters. This funding approach makes it a distinctive example of community-backed public art installation in California.
