Double face sculpture Janus outside the Police Station in Kirkenes, North Norway
With its double face, the sculpture Janus relates to its surroundings in Kirkenes, but remains autonomous and self-contained, defined by its simplicity and clear symbolism. Double-headed figures, such as this sculpture, symbolise the dualities of human nature. A beginning and an end, an action and a result, a destiny and a choice. It does not take sides with one or the other, but represents both the good and evil forces within humanity.
