Summary:
Abstract sculpture constructed of six vertical non-symmetrical layers of limestone. The layers are carved on the top and side edges in rounded, billowing peaks, and are tightly bound to each other back-to-back so as to create a multi-dimensional effect. The sculpture sits on two horizontal rectangles of limestone, which in turn rest on a two-stepped concrete base.
