The sculpture bears the words "be who you are, stand up for minorities and the less fortunate, speak your mind honestly, and listen to your sense of justice." in 41 languages. The quote came from messages de Vries has relayed to his two children. The creation of the sculpture is the subject of a Dutch language documentary film by Nederlandse Publieke Omroep, the Dutch Foundation for Public Broadcasting.
