The sculpture consists of six tall, rectangular structures aligned on a flat, dark base. Each structure is hollow in parts, resembling open geometric forms. The material is a smooth, light-colored substance. The hollows are rectangular, creating a rhythmic pattern. The overall arrangement is orderly, with each structure positioned in a straight line, contributing to balance and proportion from our perspective.
