A short statement of the proposed artwork's relationship to the theme of "Venus Rising, A Celebration of Women (150-500 words).
Justice was inspired by the model’s real life. She was the strength of her family and she raised her children on her own after an unexpected divorce. She rose above the trials and tribulations and educated herself and now runs a successful business. Justice is the epitome of all the woman who escalate above unforeseen difficulties to succeed. The background transforms from stormy to calm and her robes show the tears that life has placed upon her. Her strength is symbolized by the sword. The scales are unbalanced to show that life is not always fair, but her perseverance will sustain her. Finally, the blindfold, to show that justice is blind and unbiased, however no matter what your disability a woman’s tenacity will flourish.
