Left – Queen of Swords as Defender
In this courtroom of stars and shadows, the Queen of Swords stands as an unflinching defender of truth. Sword in hand, she slices through deceit and illusion, holding all who stand before her to the highest standards of clarity and justice. She is not swayed by sentiment or manipulation; her purpose is to uphold fairness, to weigh the evidence, and to speak the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
Here, the courtroom becomes her realm. The alien judge and jury symbolize the higher forces of universal law, reminding us that truth echoes across galaxies, and justice is not bound by Earth alone.
Bonnie the cockatoo perches nearby, ever watchful, her keen eyes observing the subtleties that others miss. She represents the voice of conscience and the need to speak up, even when silence would be easier. Her call is sharp and piercing—reminding us that truth, once spoken, cannot be ignored.
