The sculpture consists of two intertwined images. A cor-ten steel towering shelter consists of a spire roof on multiple bent long columns and a boat structure made of recycled granite, floating in midair. While the tall towering shelter connotes stability and rootedness, the boat is a symbol of transience and journeying into the unknown, beyond the horizon. Juxtaposing these two images represents stasis and kinesis, two forces vital to the human condition.
