作品以一張藝術家於理髮店剪髮時拍下的照片為引子，並將其轉印到木板上，過程中刻意中斷轉印的步驟，使圖像的附著面（紙張）被保留，從而減去圖像本身的內容，轉而強調其被看待與回應的方式。題目取自詩人愛倫坡（Edgar Allan Poe）的小說《失竊的信》（The Purloined Letter）。

The work begins from a photograph capturing a haircut scene in a salon, which is transferred onto a wooden board. The transfer process is deliberately interrupted so that the image’s supporting surface (the paper) is retained, thereby subtracting emphasis from the image content itself and redirecting attention to the ways it is seen and responded to. The title is taken from Edgar Allan Poe’s novel “The Purloined Letter”.
