Summary:
Abstract sculpture consisting of "zig-zag snake-like forms which symbolize rebirth and renewal. The snake's reaching upward and downward also suggests the relationship between air and water heaven and earth. The four diagonal elements repeatedly bisect each other, joining in a powerful union, then breaking away and finally coming together again at the summit and base." The sculpture rests on a circular base.
