The sculpture is a cube made of transparent or semi-transparent material, possibly glass, with a brownish hue, framed by a metallic structure. The frame of the cube has a bronze or brass finish, contrasting with the smooth surfaces of the sides. The cube sits on a flat surface, viewed from a slight angle, allowing three sides and the top to be visible. The lighting highlights the reflective and translucent qualities of the material, casting gentle shadows on the surrounding surface.
