The sculpture consists of a rectangular, flat object as the main focal point. The object has a rough texture and earth-toned color, appearing to be made from a natural material. It is suspended on the wall by a string at the top, connecting it to two upper hooks. Below, there is a horizontal rod, possibly made from bamboo or a similar material. This rod is connected to the main piece by three pairs of thin strings forming triangular shapes. The sculpture presents a blend of geometric simplicity and natural materials, suggesting a balance and tension between the elements involved.
