Artist : Mahmood Rafati
Material : Natural wood, metal elements, mixed media technique
Technique : Mixed media technique using natural wood to construct a vertical, unassuming form, embedded with metallic elements symbolizing money and trade. The arrangement of these symbols challenges the integrity of truth when subjected to monetary valuation. The technique emphasizes the tension between sincere form and transactional imagery, offering a critique of commodified honesty and justice

A vertical, seemingly modest structure marked with embedded metallic symbols—evoking currency and trade. *The Price of Truth* portrays justice reduced to value, and truth weighed against wealth. A sculpture that doesn’t measure honesty, but sells it—asking: if justice has a price, is it still justice?
