The sculpture is interesting since it remains symmetrical from certain angles, while completely unbalanced at others. The geometric shapes give it a sense of regularity and control while the structure remains strong and dense, formed from painted aluminum. I enjoyed the sculpture's change from balanced to unbalanced, while still feeling stable.

This sculpture is unique in the feelings it gives. The build is lightweight and the shape gives it the look of a feather. The polished brass creates a reflective surface meant to enhance the designs materiality. I liked this sculptures as it demonstrates the importance of materiality in how we perceive a weight in structure.
