Lady Justice
Lady Justice is a dynamic linoleum reduction print that intricately focuses on the profound idea of justice and the complex elements that contribute to what constitutes a fair judgment. In this representation, Lady Justice stands firmly with her sword sheathed, symbolizing restraint, while she holds a hawk in one hand, representing vigilance and insight. A second hawk is depicted in flight, landing on her arm to perch, adding a sense of movement and life to the composition. The scale is present in her hands, but it is not actively lifted, which brings forward the thought-provoking idea that at times, we may allow external influences to encroach upon our ability to fully weigh an instance justly and impartially. This piece ultimately raises questions regarding how much we let other spectators and societal pressures shape our perceptions of what is right and just in our own lives.
