The image depicts a close-up view of a monument made of rusty chains. Engraved on the monument are several phrases including, "Shall we live as slaves or free men?" (Sándor Petőfi), "It isolated the East from the West", "It split Europe and the world in two", "It took away our freedom", "It held us in captivity and fear", "It tormented and humiliated us", and "And finally we tore it down." These phrases are separated into blocks within the monument. The chains are linked tightly together. In the out-of-focus background, there is a blurred view of a street, some buildings, trees, and a metal fence. The location of the monument is in Budapest, Hungary.
