作品由 2,400 片裁切紙片組成，解構了象徵「美國夢」的白色柵欄，並以近乎超現實的方式將其增厚至一英尺，在轉化為「自由」二字的過程中逐漸顯現其形體。
一場選舉過後，這件雕塑拒絕繼續挺立。
2,400 片紙所承載的重量，在傾倒、歪斜之間，顯露出它唯一誠實的姿態。
它癱軟的形態映照著移民經驗中的疲憊：不斷適應，不斷保持警覺，不斷翻譯自己，在重新塑造自我以融入環境、凝視腳下持續變動的土地，以及背負兩個自我卻始終無法完整抵達任何一方之間徘徊。
觀眾受邀一片一片撕下柵欄，雙手觸碰那道曾經庇護我、卻也將你拒於門外的界線。
當柵欄逐漸瓦解，曾經阻隔彼此的邊界，也成為我們共同棲居的土地。
Composed of 2,400 cut paper pieces, the sculpture dissects the image of the white picket fence, a symbol of the American Dream, surreally thickened to one foot as it shifts into the Mandarin character for "freedom" (自由). In the heavy aftermath of election night, the sculpture refused to remain upright. The weight of 2,400 cut paper pieces, collapsing and leaning, revealed itself as the only honest form. Its limpness mirrors the exhaustion of adaptation, perpetual vigilance, and translation: reshaping to fit, watching the ground shift, carrying two selves without fully arriving in either.
Spectators are invited to tear away the fence piece by piece, hands meeting the line that once sheltered me while shutting you out. As it comes undone, what once stood between us becomes the ground we inhabit together.
