Firrell's body of work has been described as 'art as debate'; it can also be regarded as a consistent call for greater social justice for all.
'I was particularly pleased that this work appeared in the Netherlands, for so long a beacon of liberalism, tolerance and social cohesion.
'It was also my first time working with the Dutch language. My Dutch colleagues felt their language was less expressive, less nuanced than other European languages, but I was immensely pleased with this rendering of the first tenet, literally,
Value Above All the Beauty of Justice.
