COUNTERPOISE
Courtesy Mr Steve Mollett - a lawyer!
"A new look at the
traditional symbol of Justice; the two frames of
reference, one representing the Law, the other
the rights of the individual - both equal!
The obelisk stands for the internal strength of Truth which is crucial in determining what Justice is.
The two frames of reference are linked together at a point as the rights of the people and the Law are intrinsically linked together and emphasis how the fabric of a society is held together. They are in balance, each by itself, and each with each other, always returning to a level very much like the traditional symbol of Justice.
They are both equal to each other.
That they are square,
gives representation of a fundamental and
understandable concept - the cornerstone of an
ideal ... solid as a rock - like Justice. Both
frames of reference turn together about the
obelisk to giving ever new perspectives. The
clean sharp edges lead directly from point to
point on each square symbolizing logic and a
system of laws and procedures." Each frame is suspended from a single point, one balancing the other. They will float in theair-conditioning currents of a lobby or atrium. Option to motorize to turn slowly, or intermittently to stir it up Central column - options: painted, coated, marble clad
