The statues present in Tyler Gardens do not follow the same style as the European passive nude art. Instead of giving off a sexual message, these statues elevate the peaceful atmosphere of the environment. These works of art amplify the peaceful atmosphere of this garden. The women depicted in most of these statues are not gazing at the people in this garden. Their gaze is directed towards the sky, thus symbolizing her longing for freedom. It seems as if they are facing God. This directly differs from the women of the passing European nude art because the women in those artworks usually faced the viewers. The only bronze sculpture overlooking the garden presents a young woman in a pose which seems as if she is trying to cover herself. Looking at this statue as it overlooks the garden truly shows how women are empowered and a prominent essence in society.
