The sculpture is a rectangular box with an open front. It has clean lines and a minimalist design. The exterior is a metallic color with a brushed surface. The interior back and side walls are glossy green. The sculpture is mounted on a white wall without visible supports. The open face creates a sense of depth and the bold interior color contrasts with the exterior. The geometric simplicity and color draw the eye into the hollow space.

This abstract, free-standing sculpture is made up of a square, scarlet-red box like a platform topped with a triangle, half the size of the square. In this photograph, we look onto one side of the square base, and the triangle lines up with the half farther from us. The front face of the triangle is a reflective, amethyst-purple surface that reflects the square box beneath, and the top surface is coral orange. The backdrop behind the sculpture fades from light gray along the top of the photograph to white along the bottom.
