The sculpture commemorates Tayla Harris` kick which is one of Womens Austraiain Football League most talked about kicks.

Standing at 3.3 metres tall, the sculpture depicts a photograph of Harris which was posted on the Seven Network`s social media accounts, where it was swamped by misogynistic online trolls before being controversially removed by the network.  

The now famous photograph taken Michael Willson, captured Harris kicking a goal during a match against the Western Bulldogs.

The network eventually reposted the image, with an apology saying its removal had sent the wrong message and that it wanted to celebrate women's football.
