The image shows a geometric sculpture made of reddish-brown granite, placed on a paved outdoor surface near a building with concrete walls and a metal railing. The sculpture consists of angular, folded forms that create sharp peaks and valleys, contrasting with the greenery in the foreground. The setting is minimal and modern, emphasizing the material and design of the sculpture.
