Le portrait de Thémis, peint en noir et blanc, est frappant avec son regard couvert par un bandeau. Derrière ce bandeau, des billets de banque sont habilement représentés, symbolisant l'idée que, malgré son apparente cécité, la justice perçoit la couleur de l'argent. Cette vision critique est renforcée par l'inscription "Ju$tice" au-dessus du portrait, stylisée en graffiti blanc, avec le symbole "$" en jaune, se détachant sur le fond noir du tableau.
Le fond de l'œuvre est divisé en deux parties distinctes. La partie supérieure, noire, abrite l'inscription stylisée tandis que la moitié inférieure est grise, ornée de mots écrits en blanc dans un style street art. Le fond noir est délibérément craquelé et fissuré, ajoutant une texture rugueuse.
Le contraste entre le portrait en noir et blanc et les billets verts accentue l'idée de la corruption et de l'iniquité de la justice. Le tableau est intentionnellement sali, donnant un effet brut et impactant, renforçant l'aspect critique et engagé de l'œuvre.
"Ju$tice" est signé par l'artiste en bas à droite.
