The composition reflects the Californian and Hawaiian Studio Craft movement active during the 1960s and 1970s, where artisans adopted mixed metals, volcanic stone, and hand-cut silhouettes to capture motion and organic form.

The unsigned work aligns with the broader Brutalist design vocabulary paralleling artists such as Curtis Jere, emphasizing texture, abstraction, and natural materials. Its scale and balanced arrangement allow it to serve as a sculptural focal point for modern interiors.
