'After 9/11, Feinstein found solace in Old Master works of Jesus and Mary feeling their own pain, especially Matthias Grünewald’s Deposition paintings. The potential to empathise with the Gospel characters which is opened by Feinstein’s “Mirror” paintings, through eyes that reflect our features, enables the viewer to find solace similarly.'
