I buy a print of it.

Of the picture?

the more I look at it, the more poignant and powerful it is. The bars of the walkway keeping people in and out, types of prisons all the same. The shoe on the fence representing that even if you do manage to make it over the fence of addiction there are other Barriers, and you’ll never get out without leaving a piece of you behind.

The vaguely menacing figure behind the fence, waiting to stop you if you ever manage to get over.
