At the current pace, it will take 131 years to achieve full gender parity worldwide.
2024 + 131 = 2155 AD.

A massive beam, with two large nails driven into it, suspends 131 long ropes of varying dimensions, thicknesses, and colors, symbolizing time. Each rope is adorned with knots representing the obstacles women will face in reaching gender equality.
A succession of women, of different ages and ethnicities, will bear the beam on their shoulders and walk, the tangle of ropes trailing behind them like a train.
Visually, it will appear as if they are carrying a cross.
They advance slowly, in slow motion, ascending and descending stairs.
