DescriptionA sculpture somewhat resembling a war bonnet. The top of the sculpture features a line of four organic protrusions made from glass; three are colored with a gradient fading from olive to white and one is bright blue. These glass forms are mounted to a piece of red stone with a roughly rectangular shape. Two pieces of rebar connect this stone to a blue pedestal covered in oval-shaped divots. This pedestal is on top of a white wooden cube with two long, pointed legs on either side.
