Li Xinmo wrapped barbed wire around a ladder to form an installation. A girl stands underneath the ladder, gazing at the audience through the barbed wire, and hands out a flower. The artist climbs up the ladder while placing flowers on it. When she reaches the top, she pours black seeds down. At the end, the two hug through the barbed wire. This work is full of metaphors and symbols concerning the crown of thorns, the celestial ladder, isolation, suffering, cruelty and hope, discipline and punishment, life and imprisonment.
