Summary:
A narrow beam of stainless steel twisted to form a loop rests atop a pyramid-shaped black granite shaft. The black granite shaft is installed on top of six grey granite pavers. The granite shaft encloses an electric motor which is supposed to turn the stainless steel sculpture one revolution every twenty-four hours.
