About this work

This image shows a long, narrow woodcut with a black background. It features a repeating sequence of a single high-heeled shoe kicking through vertical panels. The shoe appears to break through each barrier, moving from left to right. Above each panel, there’s a Chinese character printed in white. The characters seem to spell out a phrase as you move across the image. The way the shoe breaks through the panels creates a sense of forward motion, even though it’s a static picture.
