The sculpture is a rectangular sheet of corrugated metal manipulated into an abstract form. The metal is rusted with a rich reddish-brown color, varying in shades. It appears weathered and industrial. The sculpture is mounted on a wall, displaying folds, ridges, and a pattern of small perforations. The artwork presents a complex interplay of texture and form, engaging the viewer with its detailed surface and earthy tones reflecting aging metal.
