This is the section influenced by Sidney Nolan and Patricia Piccinini's work, which i've modelled on Google Sketchup. The top/above-ground half of the building symbolizes Injustice. It describes the law to be seemingly flawless and equal in every way, embodied in its semi-spherical form. However, the internal flaws of the law become apparnt once one steps inside, and realizes the law is in fact flawed in many ways, unequal, and frankly, uncomfortably vicious. Its jagged form contrasts vastly from its exterior, playing on one's expectations of equality and justice. Linked aesthetically, is the bottom half, which again uses spheres. Suggesting Evolution, the basement is comprised of increasingly large spherical rooms linked by corridors. The increase of size with the decrease of depth is a reference to the fact that the process of evolution does not lie only in the progress of increased diversity, but that it is a process occuring through time.
