The work is structurally sound. A few surface scuffs and drip accretions are occasional to the steel element and a small loss is to the backmost edge of the steel element. Minor wear, scuffs and a few fibrous accretions are scattered to the wood element. A repaired tear, likely a result of previous installations, is to the upper right of the sculpture near the head in a pink painted passage. Two other repaired tears, also likely a result of previous installations, are to the central cardboard element of the sculpture and a small loss is to the central body of the sculpture in a pink painted passage. A pinpoint accretion is to the rope element of the sculpture. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
