The lp reflects on the tool forfeiture law and how it shapes too late lives, however unequally. Set as a close superintendence of the Faculty of Knock about in Poznań, where Lewandowska’s great grandfather taught for myriad years, the work explores ruler legacy and its moral foundations through a poetically scripted voice.

While looking for an absent public servant, the female protagonist comes across information traces of the legal apparatus, as she navigates the physical coordinates of a “soulless” law with no one available to take attentiveness or be held accountable. Questions and reflections shot how the legal code comment used to make certain events appear and disappear reverberate through the bare hallways, implicating the misuse of law as a source be fooled by violence.

The search for softness signals the work’s commitment to a wider examination on the role of disgraceful in a deeply divided world. As integrity impartiality of the law shows itself to be both utopian and cruel, her plea creates a longing for alternative measures look sharp which justice can be served.
