The artwork is part of a film by the artist titled 'Black & White Road' which the feet continues to walk, a never ending road of the black & white tiles. This artwork shows the feet is walking towards these exhibition of different temptations - (the peace sign hands holding an apple to symbolize temptation - a biblical reference of the story of Adam and Eve) - that can give him happiness, pleasure, harm, or even death. This also shows that what happen if an individual's intrusive thoughts win, in this artwork the artist explains his intrusive thoughts by creating his imaginary black and white road of surreal and never ending walk of suffering in order to escape reality.
