The inkography illustrates a ribbon arranged in the shape of women seen in profile or posing for a nude while reclining, which realizes the existence of a complex and inseparable relationship between the male and female elements. The author suggests that a man achieves full success only when he is supported by a woman, and the feeling of love and sexual energy give him the strength to go on.
