A large, abstract bronze sculpture with an uneven, wavy edge is mounted on a simple metal stand. The sculpture's surface is textured with various protrusions and indentations, creating an organic and dynamic visual effect. The piece is displayed against a plain white background, emphasizing its complex form and dark patina.
