Ruth Bader Ginsburg Statue is Creepy

[Moonglow]

Los Angeles – Offering nearly 100 personal items including rare, signature fashion pieces, such as lace gloves and the only collar being made available to the public, Bonhams is pleased to announce its second and final auction from the collection of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Proceeds from the auction will form the basis of The RBG Endowment Fund, a charitable fund established by SOS Children's Villages, the world's largest organization dedicated to caring for children without parental care or who are at risk of losing it. In January 2022, Bonhams' white glove sale of the Justice's personal library smashed pre-sale estimates, reaching $2,354,510 overall, and brought in more bidders than any other online auction in Bonhams' history. Personal Property of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will run online at www.bonhams.com from Wednesday, September 7 to Friday, September 16 – in time to celebrate Constitution Day and mark the second anniversary of Justice Ginsburg's passing.

Why do people wear ram horns?


The ram was also a sacred animal to the ancient pagan religions of Europe and Asia. In these cultures, the ram was often associated with fertility and virility. The ram horns were seen as symbols of strength, power, and virility.

Look, there was an opportunity to give some respect for RBG, a female, and her fight for equality, and accomplishments with a respectful, dignified statue, and this artistic depiction falls short, in all ways but none....imo.... an attention grabber, for certain!

I vehemently agree.

A statue that at least somewhat resembled her would be fine.

While I think that for the most part she was a total lunatic, I would not have insulted her casting something that was inspired by a peyote overdose. Of course this is the sort of shit moonbat "artists" tend to do.

It's the first female statue to adorn one of the Appellate courthouse's 10 plinths, dominated for more than a century by now weathered statues representing great lawgivers throughout the ages — all of them men.

The figure is a part of a project on the theme of women and justice for an exhibition titled Havah…to breathe, air, life, according to Madison Square Park.

Shahzia Sikander, who created the sculpture, says it supports women's rights, abortion, and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as seen in the statue's special collar.

Sikander, a 53-year-old Pakistani American artist, writes, "The luminous figure is also a nod to RBG – as seen in the detail adorning her collar. With Ginsburg's death and the reversal of Roe, there was a setback to women's constitutional progress."

Sikander made multiple versions of the statue that appear in several public locations in New York City. In her sculptures, the allegorical figures have their eyes wide open. They wear a decorative jabot at the neckline, referring to the lace collar popularized by Justice Ginsburg and the feminization of the black judicial robes traditionally worn by male justices of the court.

Sikander said the sculpture on top of the courthouse was part of "an urgent and necessary cultural reckoning" in cities like New York that are reconsidering "traditional representations of power in public spaces."


"The female body has a face with its hair braided into spiraling 'horns.' The horns mimic the movement of the arms and are there as a symbol of the figure's sovereignty, and its autonomy," Sikander wrote in her artist statement.

"She is a fierce woman and a form of resistance in a space that has historically been dominated by patriarchal representation," the artist told The New York Times.

Sikander said the work was called "NOW" because it was needed "now," at a time when women's reproductive rights were under siege after the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned the ruling that invented a federal right to abortion.

It really dishonors her memory. I don't mind a few artistic licenses. But that *thing*.....no

I'm not calling for it to be taken down...

But that artist is on LSD imo, if she thinks that statue's depiction represents anything..... let alone RBG and her causes...

 

[CarsomyrPlusSix]

It makes sense that she and her fight for mass slaughter of the innocent be represented by a fucking tentacle demon as that blackhearted monster roasts in hell, if there is one.

The artist really captured her essence.

Ha!

I think it's quite instructive actually...it seems these folks cannot help but out themselves.

Yes, they forget that their audience is not entirely from their campus Rainbow Club.

Looks like they've got Roman and Greek dudes there. Ok, they want a female image, fair enough. Why not Themis or Justicia, the Greek and Roman godesses of justice that is already in front of courthouses with the blindfold and the scales. Put some lace around her neck and clunky shoes on her feet and viola! It's RBG.

Let her be honored for her judicial temperment or wisdom, but it is not appropriate for a government agency to honor her for her fight on either side of a controversial issue like abortion.

If they want an honest depiction of an abortion supporter, I suppose they could replace the sword with forecepts and have her weighing the post-abortion baby parts for sale on one side of the scale and silver coins on the other.
