Creating "Justice Bleeds for Her,” has been a profound journey for me one that resonates deeply with the ongoing waves of societal change. I felt compelled to capture the fierce urgency and turbulence that accompany these shifts, and this artwork is my visual exploration of that dynamic.
The bold imagery in the piece draws inspiration from the powerful symbol of Lady Justice herself. Here, she stands holding scales that drip with red blood, a striking metaphor for the fractures and fervor we witness in our world today. Behind her an architectural structure reminiscent of a government building looms, anchoring the piece in a setting that suggests both authority and accountability.
Vibrant hues of orange, yellow, and blue cascade across the canvas, enveloping the scene with an intense energy that speaks to the depth of the emotion involved in societal transformations. Each stroke is deliberately layered to build a narrative of boldness and contemplation. In the foreground, a myriad of faces emerges, each portrayed with unique expressions. This crowd symbolizes the diverse array of voices involved in and impacted by change, their varied emotions reflecting hope, concern, and determination.
Creating this artwork was a unique experience, not just because of its subject matter, but also due to the intensity of the colors and the layering technique that evolved as I worked. My aim was to fuse symbolism with vibrant art to inspire reflection and conversation about the ongoing quest for justice and equality.
Through ""Justice Bleeds for Her”," my hope is to inspire viewers to consider their role within these societal changes and to embrace the challenging yet exhilarating journey towards a more just world. This piece is not just an artwork; it's an invitation to engage, to feel, and to act.
