Object
Tasha Yar Semi-Line Portrait (Courtroom Display)
A stark, high-contrast semi-line head-and-shoulders likeness of Lieutenant Tasha Yar rendered on a flat courtroom display pane. The portrait uses spare, confident strokes rather than photographic detail; it fills the view, pulses briefly with console rendering artifacts, and holds the room’s gaze. Presenters cue the image as witnesses pause, officers tighten, and the judge studies the face—the portrait acting as a visual anchor for testimony and moral appeal.
