Lady Luck.
Blind folded lady Justice.
The single dice with the empty circles.
All to remind us that our survival is just a matter of blind and unpredictable luck or fortune.
Is Luck just?
Is Justice based on Luck or chance?
The background is the bullet hole ridden wall that provides a context of the throw of the dice.
