Iron curtain:
The work Iron Curtain is famous around the world. The couple uses the image iron curtain to indice that there are many difficulties on the way to pursue freedom. As long as people climb over the curtain, they will find something beautiful behind the curtain.
Running Fence
It looks like a river when people look from the top to the bottom. When people look at the top, the fence is huge. Gradually it becomes small in sight. It feels like that the barrier to freedom is huge at first and then it becomes smaller and smaller. Finally, people are able to gain freedom though the process is difficult.
