The sculpture is an abstract form with a vertical element and an extended arm-like section supporting a cylindrical component. It is made from a material resembling wood with a rich brown texture. The structure stands on a wide faceted base that tapers upward into a sleek, elongated form. The surface of the sculpture is expertly carved, with visible grooves and lines enhancing its textured appearance. Placed against a neutral background, the sculpture is presented as an upright, solitary figure with a minimalist and organic design.
