The small female figure shows two movements at the same time: the walk of human steps, hurried and thrown from an unnatural body position, enveloped on itself, and the blow of the wind which accords to the movements but it’s way too accelerated, and that’s the cause of that unnatural gesture of the woman, hugging herself and bending over trying to find more grip to the ground.
The protagonist of the artwork, as suggested by its title, is not what is shown but what is naturally invisible and of which is possible to observe just the consequences: the difficult walk of the lady is in the end just a pretext to make the wind tangible.
