The sculpture is a tall, rectangular column with a uniform shape and smooth surfaces. It is colored in a soft, peach-like hue that maintains its consistency across the entire structure. The material appears to be a solid and likely polished surface. The sculpture stands upright and directly on the floor, providing a simple, modern appearance when viewed directly from the front or side. The clean lines and unembellished design give it a presence that is both understated and commanding, allowing it to stand out in an otherwise plain environment.
