![]() The center of the sculpture was partly hidden by leaves. It was a metal cube mounted to and floating above the ground. A few of the vertical rods were mounted to this cube. The other vertical rods were directly mounted to the concrete blocks on the ground.

![]() Vertical rods rose through the tree. They were almost invisible except for the fact they were straight lines through leaves.

![]() A closer view of the cube in which its welds were more visible. The vertical rods, as seen here, appeared to be covered either in solar cells, or reflective tape.

![]() A view of the central cube showing how trees have grown over the years to wind throughout the sculpture. One could see fruit beginning to form on the trees.
