The sculpture is composed of a geometric arrangement of six intersecting open cubes forming a larger cross-like shape. It is crafted in a light cream color, offering a sense of transparency. The design creates interlocking geometric forms with clean lines and uniformity. Viewers can walk around the sculpture to appreciate its spatial relationships from different angles.
