The Maze Prison Longkesh, Belfast.

In stark contrast to Venice the Maze prison, the iconic symbol of the Troubles, not only expresses for Duffy religious and political divided but the human capacity for hatred and willingness to subject others to extreme cruelty. Duffy grew up in Liverpool in the 60's very aware of religious hatred on both sides which still existed then in Liverpool.  

The Maze is an iconic, historic building, a centre of peace protests and the Good Friday Agreement. Duffy hopes hopes that this will add, as does his work “Victim, no resurrection” to reconciliation.
