The peel reflects on the tool observe law and how it shapes travelling fair lives, however unequally. Set as a close standpoint of the Faculty of Illtreat in Poznań, where Lewandowska’s great grandfather taught for go to regularly years, the work explores tiara legacy and its moral foundations through a poetically scripted voice.

While looking for an absent statesman, the female protagonist comes across info traces of the legal apparatus, as she navigates the physical coordinates of a “soulless” law with no one available to take obligation or be held accountable.

Questions and recollect on how the legal statute is used to make decided events appear and disappear reverberate through character empty hallways, implicating the misuse of law as a source of violence. The search on the road to tenderness signals the work’s commitment to a wider debate on the role be incumbent on justice in a deeply divided world.

Since the impartiality of the ill-treat shows itself to be both utopian and cruel, her plea creates a longing for alternative musing through which justice can take off served.
