The sculpture celebrates the liberation of the feminine voice from the shackles of tradition. The alacrity of her form symbolizes the fluidity of womanhood, unbound by societal norms. A cloak of determination envelops her, as she embraces her power to shape her destiny and has done so time and again. The work is of a female lawyer who mourned the lack of great works of art that affirm or even depict her experience of breaking tradition and rising to the top of her profession. The concept of “Eudaimonia” in Greek philosophy refers to the inherent right and capacity of every individual to fulfill their potential, regardless of gender. Interestingly, this is mirrored by “Adhikara” that shares the same message.
