A girl with a glowing light bulb in her hand is depicted against a red brick wall. A ladder is leaning against the wall, leading to the base of the light bulb. But in order to light the bulb the girl does not need to climb the ladder, it is already lit in her hands.
The painting shows a girl standing in front of a bright red brick wall. Next to her is a metal ladder that rests against the wall. The girl holds a bucket from which black paint pours out, forming a stain beneath her. This piece evokes associations with hopelessness and the desire for expression. Red symbolizes passion and aggression, while black reflects darkness and depression.
