Forming a complete circle, this sculpture is made of metal rods and planks. Standing outside the sculpture, you can see the shape the planks make as they are slanted one a little more than the next. Standing inside the sculpture however, is where the true magic of this work of art lies. Inside of the sculpture the planks are a reflective red surface meant to represent blood as the entire sculpture as a whole represents human DNA. The red planks reflect back on the viewer their world around them so as to show them their connection to the people in their surroundings.
