The sculpture showcases a large, vertical, rusted metal sheet as the main structural element. It is made of dark brown, heavy, oxidized metal, likely iron or steel. A significant rust-coated chain is wrapped around the metal sheet, adding a dynamic element. The chain appears old with an orange-brown patina from corrosion. The overall look is raw and unembellished, with the sculpture's size larger than the viewer, giving it a dominating presence.
