The sculpture is a tall, slender form resembling a minimalist, abstract shape. It is dark in color and features a vertical element with branching forms at the top, with one branch extending upwards and forming a hook-like feature. The structure stands on a circular base. It appears relatively tall and thin, possibly around waist-height. Its design emphasizes elongated and curving lines, creating a visually interesting silhouette.
