Statues of Breonna Taylor, John Lewis, and George Floyd will now sit in the heart of New York City in an exhibition called See Justice.
See Justice Exhibition
The exhibition, entitled “See Justice” opened Thursday (Sept 30) in Union Square.
“The exhibition is entitled “See Injustice” — in one way or another, each of these individuals saw injustice,” said artist Chris Carnabuci.
Each statue weighs about 1,000 pounds and is made of 200 thinly-cut slices of African Mahogany, then topped with a glistening coat of bronze paint.

The exhibition is the brainchild of Confront Art, and is the organization’s first installation.
Inspired by the events of 2020, Carabuci hopes his work will highlight the need for social change and be used as a way to spark civil discourse.
The pieces will stay through October 30 and then travel to different cities all over the country. Ultimately, they’ll be auctioned off with proceeds going to charities linked to all three people.
