USC is littered with beautiful design, from a variety of trees to the iconic fountains and, of course, the many statues. From the iconic Tommy Trojan to everyone’s favorite furry friend, Tirebiter, these statues are frozen and famous moments that encapsulate USC history and the ideas that USC stands by.
It is hard to imagine USC without them and them without USC. Each statue tells its own story: the founding of the School of Cinematic Arts with Douglas Fairbanks and Hecuba, the queen of Troy, watching over the USC Village.
For this week’s “The Weekly Frame,” staff photographer Bryce Dechert explored campus, capturing these frozen figures in frozen photos. The idea of photographing a frozen item is fascinating and begs the question of what makes that photo interesting; that was the challenge posed to Dechert, which he took to fruition across five of USC’s iconic statues.
