| Signage: | The artist was inspired by bells' ancient and contemporary functions across religions and cultures. In Buddhism, they signal asking for forgiveness; for Kaplan they represent acceptance, tolerance and dignity. The artist wanted them installed at the Constitutional Court as a formal and dignified space that is about respect and responsibility. |
