This work is in very good condition overall. All elements are sound and intact. There is minor cracking, loss and wear throughout, most noticeable in the cement components and along the edges of the wooden chair, which are all consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. This work is accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist.

"When a person disappears, everything becomes impregnated with that person's presence. Every single object as well as every space becomes a reminder of absence, as if absence were more important than presence." Doris Salcedo
