This artwork is a comedic take on social commentary by Diaz, similar to many of his other works. The titular phrase translated into english means 'Justice and Liberty for the Pink Squares'. Diaz leaves it up to the viewer to decide what the work means to them.
"The only cause here is to free the pink paintings. This piece is my way of making fun of the seriousness of being political, because I think you always have to make fun of yourself a little bit in order to be able to continue doing what you’re doing."
