The sculpture is an organic abstraction of elements from the plant and animal kingdoms blended with the invisible world of subatomic molecules and electron orbits. The barb of a feather, the helix of a horn, the tendril of a vine and the structure of a molecule, all combine as one monumental yet elegant structure, simple yet complex.

Viewed from above or below, the structure of a molecule can be recognized. The ethene (C2H4) compound was chosen because of its structural simplicity and its importance to biology as a hormone. To symbolize the spatial distribution and energy of the molecules electrons, spheres of stainless steel will radiate thin star shapes creating larger spherical volumes. The volume will be light and semi-transparent and will radiate thin star shapes creating larger spherical volumes. The volume will be light and semi-transparent and will animate with the wind.

Fabricated from over 3000 parts, at 20 to 24 feet in height and almost 20 feet at its widest, the sculpture will be detailed and monumental making it readly visible from a distance. It will be visible from the upper decks both North and South including the Exchange Parking Deck South of Carroll Street and the approach from Zook and Buchtel Halls from the East.
