DescriptionA sculpture made from rusted iron. The sculpture features a minimalistic depiction of a two-story house with a pitched roof, open windows and doors, and two porches on opposite sides. A figure stands with their arms outstretched on a stepped platform inside the house. The house has a rounded foundation, similar to a rocking chair, which causes it to lean to one side. The house sits on a tall pedestal also made from rusted iron.
