The sculpture consists of geometrically shaped segments arranged in a linear pattern on a concrete surface. The main subject is a series of large, angular forms with one prominent triangular piece leaning to the left. The sculpture is made of dark metal with a brownish hue, possibly steel. It is located outdoors in front of a building with large windows and a brick border around the base. The sculpture appears substantial in scale compared to the building's facade.
