This abstract welded bronze sculpture is made of a series of bronze rods emerging from a central, flat trapezoid of bronze with a small, c-shaped notch removed. Two bronze rods that appear to have hands at the ends emerge from either side of the central shape, alongside additional protruding rods, most of which are bent and welded to other rods. One rod protrudes upward at an angle and at the end is a metal oval divided in half by a smaller rod and then segmented by three still-smaller rods. At the bottom of the trapezoid seven rods protrude and create a base for the sculpture, attached to small, circular pieces of metal.
