Front and Rear Views of Carlos Dorrien's Sculpture of
Justice at Entry Plaza of Stamford Courthouse, Stamford, Connecticut
As one enters the Courthouse at 123 Hoyt Street in Stamford, one cannot ignore a massive stately sculpture of the figure of Justice adjacent to another figure representing the Scales of Justice. The latter doubles as a seat for the weary.
The piece was executed in 2005 by Carlos Dorrien an Argentine native, who now lives in Wellesley, Massachusetts. It is a large granite figure with a figurehead who shows no emotions. Her eyes are seemingly blank as if to suggest that justice cannot show any favoritism and must often shut her eyes to emotion and consider the facts as presented.
It is a welcome addition to Stamford.
