The sculpture displays multiple flat, curved forms resembling cut-out sheets of metal. These forms overlap and intersect at various angles. There are three vertical sections that overlap and descend in height, and they appear to be connected by one horizontal section that intersects with them perpendicularly. The sculpture is primarily gray with a textured, speckled surface containing some areas that appear pale blue and dark green.
