Description
The sculpture is executed in metal. Short, thin pieces of metal are attached together in triangular shapes to form three possibly human figures. Their arms, pointed at the ends and angled in different directions, are linked. The figure to the left, whose arms are lifted up, appears to be stepping towards the figure in the center. The center figure has their arms down. The leg on its right side is lifted. The leg to the right of the final figure is bent to the right as if making a long stride towards the central figure. One of its arms is extended straight out to the right, the other is linked to the central figure. There is a small metal plaque attached by thin wires to the central figure's legs.
