Six decorative fins acting as both shade structures as well as anchor points arc upward to buttress a 44 foot tall vertical steel center pole. Radiating out from 3 equidistant sides hang 3 identical columns of intricately patterned panels and wings,fabricated with bent steel bar and plasma-cut sheet steel. Various patinas and other metal types add texture and color to help define the patterns, designs and motifs that make up the panels. Fine details to appreciate by day are lit at night by colored LED spotlights to create infinitely variable patterns. Wind-driven outstretched wings rotate around the center pole, giving the sculpture a kinetic aspect. Flame effects are at the top, on the wings and on the ground.
