The impact is depicted dramatically, with jagged fragments of the wall breaking apart, suggesting destruction and chaos. The background is clean and white, making the wrecking ball and the shattering effect the focal point. Below the image, there is text that reads: "Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction." This quote is attributed to The Frog and the Ox by Aesop.
