A massive beam, with two large nails embedded in it, 131 long hanging ropes of varying dimensions, thicknesses, and colors symbolizing time, each with knots symbolizing the obstacles that women will face to achieve gender equality.

Visually, it appears as if they are carrying a cross. They advance slowly, climbing and descending the stairs.
