Justice

This composition is inspired by the work of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) which is “committed to…challenging racial and economic injustice” (eji.org). Measuring 2 ft. x 3 ft. and wrapped with real barbed wire, the design features 12 individuals who were originally sentenced to life without parole or to be executed. Some are not entirely innocent but all fell foul of a system that disadvantages those unable to properly defend themselves. They were all eventually taken under the wing of the EJI. The verity expressed in the text on the left is attributed to EJI founder, Bryan Stevenson.
