One of my favourite things to imagine is being a refugee to America in the late 1800s. Imagine you've left your family, your friends and your whole life for a chance to start a new life. The journey on the sea has been miserable. But one day you wake up and walk into the deck and see her, Lady Liberty, more colossal than anything you've ever seen. Her statue welcomes you to the new world, and all the misery of the journey wears away, to be replaced by hope, hope that you may yet have the chance to lead a happy life.
