Summary:
An abstract sculpture formed with pine wood. At the lower part of the sculpture, porcelain arms and hands, representing the world's down-trodden, reach out from a mass of barbed wire. At the top of the sculpture, three grey pointing arms in a jet plane flying formation represent strong and dominant powers. The sculpture is secured to a steel plate that is under ground and covered by a swirl of stones.
