Image description:
A metal sculpture shaped roughly like a prone human form with hollow, bow-shaped arms held from its sides and the legs curved inwards at the ankles to make an oval with pointed ends. The silvery surface of the sculpture is covered with extruded knobs of various heights. Impressions of fingernails are visible at the ends of some of the knobs. The sculpture is lying on a blackened platform littered with coal-colored chunks of matter, and earthy black material covers a few areas of its shiny surface (written by Andrea Noonoo).
