The artist comments: 'Final Solution is part of a glass labyrinth shown at the Ben Uri. The images are obvious in that they are based on photographs taken when the death camps were liberated. The work focuses on how people treat one another. The labyrinth series is about persecution, in this case, Jewish. Included in the glass is hidden text by St. Augustine, which represents some of the underlying Christian pronouncements which have used to justify anti-Semitism'.
