The author of a work has a unique shape and continuous space.

Bocjuni, a painter, sculptor and art theorist, is a representative figure of Italian futurism movement. In sculpture creation, he published the article "Technical Manifesto of Futuristic Sculpture", which challenged the traditional academic school and put forward a new viewpoint of organizing three-dimensional invisible space. In his view, in order to make this solidified work of art have a "moving style", we should look for a sculpture that "absolutely and completely abolishes the definite lines and does not accurately depict them". We need to open the characters and put them into the environment. He said that the sculptor should have the right to interpret and deform the form of the statue, and he can use all kinds of needed materials to create. This unique shape with continuous space is one of his representative works of this artistic view.

This sculpture is one of Bochuni's most traditional sculptures and has the most concrete relationship with his paintings. This work creates a human figure with no head and hands, which shows the continuity of walking. This strutting figure is made up of floating curved surfaces carved in bronze, as if the human body flutters backwards in rapid progress. The volume of the curved surface is not limited by the actual human body, but basically moves in a two-dimensional plane, which seems to transform the painted characters into reliefs. Bochuni adopted the formal characteristics of dynamic analysis photography in his creation. This image is actually an intuitive feeling of the human body from a certain distance. In perceptual aesthetics, it is a very complete, powerful and continuous human body.
