The sculpture is an abstract composition made of metal elements. It consists of a bent tubular piece, a semi-circular form, a wider strip curled into a partial loop, and additional curved segments. The dominant color is a dark, metallic gray with a slightly shiny surface, indicative of the metal material. It sits on a plain white pedestal against a neutral gray, stone-tiled background. The varying curves and angles of the sculpture form an intriguing interplay of shapes and lines.
