As I have grown older I have become more adamant that my purpose is to campaign in some way for change, using my works as a medium for catalysing debate. If you can raise debate, eventually change will follow.” Firrell has done spectacular work on public buildings and public spaces using words and art as a medium to bring about an inner change in the hearts that is intended to promote societial change towards the better.
