The Portalis building houses the Brussels public prosecutor’s office. The columns were decorated by the French artist Alto. Justice imprisons and frees you, as the poet said. These 16 pillars showcase the gold of power and of unwavering authority, as well as a variety of vibrant patterns, all different, which evoke the diversity of people and their wish for infinite freedom. An eternal dilemma between much-needed stability and creative disorder. Ready to be the judge?
