The artwork presents a unique blend of industrial materials and concepts of balance and levitation. At its core, it is a kinetic sculpture that defies initial expectations through its construction and appearance. The primary structure is a column, not serving a supportive function but rather an aesthetic one. This column is composed of 48 individual lead elements, strung together on a steel rope. These elements are organized into 12 main sections, each contributing to an overall sense of roundness and balance, echoing the natural equilibrium found in nature. The base of the sculpture features a hefty block, an amalgamation of concrete and lead. Despite its apparent heaviness, the design bestows a peculiar sense of weightlessness upon the block, almost as if it is suspended in the air. This juxtaposition of the heavy materials and the visual effect of lightness challenges the viewer's perception and highlights the sculpture's kinetic nature.
