Our children may one day judge the decisions we make today
Our little skipping girl is called Saoirse, which is Irish for freedom and liberty. We aimed to depict the innocence of all children in her image.
A little historical symbology that may interest you
In Ancient Egypt, truth, justice, balance and order was governed by the goddess Ma’at. She was depicted wearing an ostrich feather on her head-dress. The ancient Egyptians believed in the order of the universe and that Ma’at kept everything in balance. According to Ancient Egyptian mythology, to pass through to the afterlife, a person’s heart was weighed on a scale against Ma’at’s ‘Feather of Truth’. If the heart balanced with Ma’at’s feather, they could continue their journey to the Afterlife. If not, their journey ended. This belief provided society with a strong sense of morality and justice.
The modern day ‘Lady of Justice’, that we see holding a set of scales in our modern day legal system, is linked to the ancient goddess Ma’at.Every parent deserves the right to consider the health repercussions for their own child and make appropriate decisions for them. Let’s stand united.
