Spot the figure lifting a large block, and decide what you think they're doing before reading on.
Look closer
The posture, the heavy block, and the gap between the official title and everyday public interpretations.
The piece is called Justice. But the city signed no contract agreeing to interpret it solemnly.
Among the popular nicknames collected for this piece, one stands out as magnificently bureaucratic: 'a bailiff hauling away a washing machine.' Look again. The statue hasn't changed; your interpretation has. Public space doesn't stop existing once the artist installs the work—people rename it, debate it, and weave it into everyday life. Next up: a clock built to tell the time that seems determined to hide it.
