Homage to Silence is a sculpture with moving pieces. The three pairs of circles are located on rotating arms with rubber bumpers. Each arm-circle-pair can be pushed to start and then the arms will rotate part way before bouncing on a rubber stopper and then rotate the other direction to do the same thing. Each arm-circle-pair can independently bounce back and forth repeatedly, depending on how hard it is pushed to start.

A plaque mounted on the base reads:
