A contemporary art installation featuring a suspended, sculpted piece resembling a large, abstract organic form, possibly a piece of meat, held by a metal rod between two vertical wooden poles. The poles are stabilized by circular wooden bases on a hardwood floor. The artwork casts a prominent shadow on the gallery wall, and there is a faint projection of a similar form on the adjacent wall, creating a sense of movement or transformation within the static display.
