Notes

"In this piece, Harding used her upper body strength to manoeuvre up and down the steps of the 202-foot column. The Monument, chosen for its historical significance and iconic stature, served as a poignant backdrop for Harding's demonstration of the challenges disabled people face during emergency evacuations."--https://anahitaharding.com
