The background of this painting reiterates the markings of a football pitch characteristic of the series 'f o r a d e c a s a'. Although in this case the layout of the playing field is obscured by ornamental carpets, examples of decorative arts as well as domesticity. They alter the function of the football pitch having been placed on its surface. In essence, the rules of the game are ignored in this painting. Also visible on the left side of the composition is a textile depicting a scene characteristic of Xinjiang province.
