The sculpture is made of fluorescent light tubes arranged in a symmetrical pattern that forms vertical lines extending up in tiers. The overall shape is similar to the top of a skyscraper, with shorter tubes leading upward on the left and right to the longest tube in the center. The design is against a neutral background, with the illumination casting a white glow on the wall.
