This site specific installation about the characteristics of women was designed to be shown on stairsteps. The structure of the work references arm and ankle bracelets. The poem can be read from top to bottom or bottom to top. This gradual almost invisible movement signifies the difficulties women encounter as they incrementally gain power from generation to generation.
