A tall glass sculpture features a vertical, tapering form of translucent, pale green frosted glass. A square block sits atop an angular neck that widens into an elongated hexagonal midsection. Centered on the front is a long plate with a textured, mottled gold surface. The sculpture narrows to a thin base supported by a small, textured copper block. The glass has a matte, grainy finish across its geometric planes.
