This isn't wrong. Don't put oxygen on a pedastal, it's toxic stuff.

I mean, it wouldn't stay on the pedestal anyway. It would just float away.

That's just lack of creativity from your part.

The OP didn't say the composition of the pedestal, if it has cavities, its temperature...

It won't float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.

Edit: Melts, doesn't sublimate, still won't melt all at once though.

At atmospheric pressure it wouldn't sublimate. It would just melt, then boil.

Good point, though it still won't melt all at once though it takes time to melt and boil (not much time but still takes time).
