This iron, freestanding sculpture consists of two wheels connected by an upward curving axle, an abstract, carriage-like structure, and five wavy lines standing upright along the top. The wheels each have six spokes and thin rims. In this photograph, the upside-down, U-shaped axle is bolted to the left end of a horizontal strip of iron, which ends to the right with an oval loop. That end of the strip is supported by a tall, narrow, wedge-shaped piece of iron. Five thin iron strips are spaced evenly across the horizontal bar. The top edges are rounded, and they curve in shallow, angular S shapes. The sculpture stands on a pale pink, polished marble floor against a wall with textured gray marble blocks. The scale of the space shows that the sculpture is at least as tall as an average person.
