The sculpture depicts a bird with its wings spread wide open. The wings have detailed feathers and extend prominently from the body. The bird's body is positioned as though it is perched on a large cracked spherical object. The sculpture is monochromatic, likely a shade of grey. It is mounted on a building exterior, conveying a sense of boldness and grandeur due to its imposing size and detailed craftsmanship.
