Die Waage der Gerechtigkeit

Description

Overall, the sculpture "The Scales of Justice" symbolizes the contrast between material justice and moral justice. It invites the viewer to reflect on the meaning of justice and how it can be implemented in society.

On the black side of the child, coins extend along the arm to the hand. This symbolizes wealth and material possessions, which are often seen in society as a measure of justice and success, and also injustice, discrimination, or social inequality.

On the white side of the child, a golden handprint of a baby rests in the hand. This represents the innocence and purity of a newborn and stands for the idea that justice should be based on compassion, care, and the protection of the most vulnerable.
