The sculpture is a flat, square-like form with irregular edges, resembling a piece of fabric or parchment. The main section is a soft peach or beige color with a smooth texture. The surrounding fringes are composed of fibrous material in a slightly off-white color, suggesting the ends of threads or unraveling fabric. The material looks akin to leather or finely textured cloth, which is held flat against the background, giving it a two-dimensional appearance with slight depth from the fringe details. The edges are tattered and uneven. The sculpture has neutral pastel shades that blend subtly with its backdrop.
