| Signage: | Artist Jaco Sieberhagen found a piece of driftwood in a river around the Worcester mountains, and sculpted it into Judge. He aimed to leave the original weathered wood as untouched as possible, drawing from its expressive texture, instead of imposing his will on it. The work embodies the protective obligations the judiciary has towards the environment. |
