The panel shows a rough, hammered surface with an irregular jagged top edge and a small rectangular opening cut into its face, giving it a weathered, almost ruinous quality.

The figures themselves are built from coiled and knotted metal strands that create a skeletal, textured silhouette, one figure appears to be leaning out of the panel while the second stands below, arms extended upward as if bracing or reaching.

The piece is mounted on a flat black base, with a small metal signature etched into to the front corner. See less
