On June 18, 2018 an audio/video was published by ProPublica.  This representation of "CLEMENTIA" (Forgiveness and Mercy), was my reaction to the audio.

I depicted a woman crying holding her two daughters, requesting "Clementia Caesar" a Latin expression requesting "mercy" and "forgiveness" to the Government.

The concept is taken from mythological Roman goddess Clementia, who became a symbol of  the Emperor Julius Caesar because of his noble heart that often offered forgiveness to the people of Rome.
