Bič je oružje koje predstavlja neravnotežu moći između dvije strane. Nesrazmjerna mogućnost jednih da upotrijebe bič kako bi vršili nasilje protiv drugih povećava simbolički značaj udaraca bičem koji su i sami po sebi zastrašujući, a kroz strah od fizičke boli i poniženja postižu i snažnu emocionalnu i simboličku komponentu.
(iz umjetnikove izjave)

The whip is a weapon that represents an imbalance of power between the two sides. The disproportionate ability of some to use it in order to commit violence against others increases the symbolic significance of whipping, which is inherently frightening, and through the fear of physical pain and humiliation achieves a strong and emotional component.
(from the artist's statement)
