A blocky sculpture of granite and glass forms a jagged "M" shape. The outer frame consists of dark, iridescent charcoal granite over sections of speckled pink stone. Its hollowed center features nested blue and peach rectangles surrounding glass panels etched with horizontal pinstripes. A bright white band cuts diagonally across the core, while the transparent layers create a deep optical illusion. Light glints off the polished surfaces, highlighting the interlocking geometric forms.
