The sculpture depicts a human figure with elongated limbs and an abstract form, crafted from dark metal. It stands on a tall rectangular pedestal with arms raised and bent at the elbows. The sculpture is positioned in front of a modern building with clean lines and right angles, in an outdoor setting. The scene is captured in black and white, and the sculpture is slightly larger than human scale.
