About the Artwork
This artwork presents a stark, symbolic meditation on justice, imbalance, and human suffering. At its core is a towering scale, traditionally emblematic of fairness and objectivity, yet the symmetry is disrupted here. One side cradles a curled, vulnerable human figure in the nude, faceless, and fetal. While the other holds a coiled snake, a classic symbol of danger, deception, or even corrupted justice.
Furthermore, the composition contrasts monumental structure and emotional rawness. The scale’s central column is rendered with architectural solidity, evoking authority and permanence. In contrast, the human figure is hunched, defenseless, and compressed within the confines of the weighing pan, visually overwhelmed by the object meant to represent impartiality.
Created with a monochromatic palette emphasizing black and white, the piece evokes a sense of introspection and ethical pondering. Strong contrast and sharp lines define the depiction of scales, symbolizing justice and moral equilibrium.
