Blind Justice by Jennifer Marx
Acrylic
Meet the artist: Jennifer Marx
Inspiration:
The angel grand but she is blind folded, balancing policing and criminal justice. The act of justice is spinning beneath her and it’s her job to keep it moving. Equal rights being weighed in her hands trying to keep upright on a balance ball.
Justice statement:
Blind. Absent. Unrealistic.

Inspiration for this piece
When I first saw this image in my mind’s eye, I thought of our soul. Our universal soul, and how we all connect. The energy that flows from one human being to another. From all living matter. Akasha is everything. Everything before, everything after. Akasha is how I reach out and touch someone who lives 10,000 miles away. She is how I see you. All of you. Her energy runs through you into me, transforms me, molds me, moves me.... changes my life.

Inspiration for this piece
When I drew this piece I was thinking to myself, “wow, pain has really molded me”. Pain has created the beauty in every fiber of my being. Every time I make a right decision or have integrity in my day to day antics, or every time I choose love over fear, it’s because of pain. Pain is beautiful in such an uncomfortable way. Pain creates resilience and generates endurance. Without pain, there is no love.

I painted this piece because my whole life I felt like I came from somewhere else, like I’ve never belonged. I am half light and half dark. I look up at the stars and feel more at home than I’ve ever felt here on earth. I try my best to be good, but I have this fire burning inside me, this rage, deep inside. I have learned how to keep it at bay, but I can’t be who I am, I don’t fit in if I’m being myself. I am an angel that had her wing taken away for rebelling... I’m cursed, angry, tortured, haunted by my past and am struggling to redeem myself.

Art is my muse. It makes me feel like I can be a part of something bigger. Something more. Art gives me a sense of purpose. I see myself as strong, free, independent and blessed. I have taken my hardships and turned them into something beautiful. “In the hour of adversity be not without hope, for crystal rain falls from black clouds.” ~ Unknown.
