Large three-legged stainless steel sculpture with a cylindrical bronze form resembling a giant seed suspended in the center, the seed tail is made of seventy-three titanium rods. To me, it looked more like a large eraser, the kind with a brush on one side and a wheel on the other. The giant seed can move back and forth like a pendulum when pushed. I am a bit short, so I was not able to reach the seed to push it.
