Works in the Final Justice series juxtapose intelligence and competence with ignorance and carelessness. In both pieces, good intentions led to unintended results. In Final Justice No. 1, bath balls used to slow evaporation from a water bath fused to the bottom of the bath in a melted mess when left untended over Thanksgiving weekend. The anti-evaporative powers were pushed beyond their natural limits. Final Justice No. 2 was created when the artist attempted to dry her shoes by placing them into an autoclave. Although a cycle was not initiated, the ambient heat was too much for the uppers (though not for the soles).
