And
Justice for All remains one of Lakich’s most important
and favorite sculpture commissions. Commissioned by The Koll Company and Ace
Parking for the Columbia Square building in downtown San Diego, the sculpture
was installed in the lobby and remained there until the building was sold
in 2000. The new owners moved it to the Toyota building in Torrance, California
and Lakich refurbished it before installing it there.
The three fiqures which were created for an office building primarily
occupied by lawyers, signify different aspects of justice. The figure on the
right has its hands over its head in a pose simulating surrender. The figure
in the middle can be seen to be saying “Oh, my god” as if a transgression
had occurred. And the figure on the left seems to be making a getaway, the
map of the world in the head implying perhaps, for parts unknown.
