The sculpture consists of four wall panels of abstract, environmental patterns, recessed beneath a lighted overhang on the side of the hospital. From left to right: Panel 1 has three zigzag shapes in blue. Panel 2 resembles an abstract flower with black, petal-like pieces, a high, wide green arc, and a smaller central arc in orange. Panel 3 contains three wide, ribbon-like pieces going from the upper left corner diagonally over to the right edge and bottom. The color is predominantly light blue, with yellow shading on the underside. Panel 4 features two green arc-like forms in the upper left, brown wave-like forms moving diagonally from the bottom to the upper right corner.
