Por una cabeza is the famous Argentine tango, meaning "by a head". In horse racing, it describes a horse winning a race by no more than a head's length. This work replaces cabeza with cereza, head with cherry. In English, cherry carries associations of temptation, desire, first taste, and virginity. So this black horse is not racing to beat another horse. It is chasing its desire, just one cherry away.

Por una cabeza 是一首著名的阿根廷探戈，中文常译作《一步之遥》。但如果从西班牙语字面来看，por una cabeza 的意为“只差一个马头”。这个表达源自赛马，指一匹马仅以一个马头的微弱优势战胜对手。于是，“只差一个马头”也成为一种关于胜负、欲望与执着的隐喻。这件作品标题将 cabeza（头）替换成 cereza（樱桃），因为在英语文化中，樱桃常与诱惑、欲望与处女之身有关。黑马已经赢得了比赛，而它仍在追逐自己的欲望——那颗近在咫尺的樱桃。Por una cereza——只差一颗樱桃。
