Layout Builder

Artist Statement:

Lady Justice has taken off her blindfold in order to see the complex humanity and individual needs of each person involved in the process. She has hung up her sword and scales, and taken her place as an equal member of the circle, leaning in, intently and compassionately listening to the stories of the people present and what each person needs to repair the harms and make things right.

Location: USA and New Zealand
