The artwork is a series of nine giant frost nails, a type of nail used to attach shire horses’ shoes in icy conditions. Based on the idea of a horse-shoe as a good luck symbol, the nails also evoke rooftops and homes rising from the ground. Each of the nails feature a line of poetry quoting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
