When asked about his latest work "Tribute to Our Fallen", this is what Paul had to say: "I believe this to be one of my most powerful pieces done to date. Not in discerning the artistic talent portrayed, but in the actual message and feelings conveyed. Each person who views this piece will receive something different. Some will see the horror that unfolded that day, some the bravery , others the aftermath and the sorrow, and yet even some, will see the strength and the rebuilding of those involved. Each will receive exactly what it is they require from this piece and ones perception of it can alter too as time moves on, after all, reality is in the mind of the perceiver."
