Illusion of Justice by Todd “Hyung Rae” Tarselli

Artist Statement: The message is fairly clear... the wheels of justice turn slowly - if you follow the gears its an optical illusion.
Image description: Painting in brown coffee on brown paper bag. Two criss-crossing cogged wheels read the words “The wheels of justice turn slowly,” and are shaded in a way that creates an optical illusion of the shape of the wheels. In the center of the wheels, a lady justice figure stands blindfolded, holding a set up scales up. Below, a muscular figure is straining to push one of the wheels.
