This sculpture is made up of bold, uppercase neon letters forming the word "AMERICA" in two rows, with the letters on the bottom positioned upside down, as if they are a reflection of the top row. Some of the letters on the top row are also backwards. The glowing white neon tubes stand out against the dark gray background. Visible electrical cords hang from the letters down to the gray floor.
