Prayer candles would be cool.

First time I've ever agreed with anything resembling that sentence 😄

Very cool. One teeny tiny thing: I'm sure you chose the colours on purpose and I may be approaching this from too much of an illustration point of view instead of "art", but I had trouble seeing the S in aequitas because it's grey on grey. Or maybe it shows up better in person. Don't let me deter you from your concept, I thought you'd like to know. Especially because the rest is excellent.

Easily solved with a small white outline indeed.

Yea it shows up better in person but I did do that on purpose. I did a lot of weird stuff with this piece. You can’t tell from the picture but the gold leafing on the halo gives a glowing effect in some lighting

I just didn’t like the darker grey so I painted over it

I'm sure that's going to go over well at school...

IME the instructor will probably love it, the administrators might not.

I’m transferring next semester anyway but it’s art it’s supposed to challenge the status quo

This is beautiful! Way to go! You've got such talent and you should be so proud of yourself.
