The sculpture was completed by three undergraduate students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The sculpture is referred to by students and faculty as the "U's" or the "J's."

A nearby plaque reads: To some the sculpture is interesting; to some it's exciting; to some/it's unfinished because it hasn't been painted; some hope it's/temporary; some see it as a challenge; to some it is a positive/trend for more art on our campus; to some it represents a great/deal of work; some feel it's overwhelming; to some it's beautiful; to/some it's majestic. It strikes each person in a different way and/almost demands a response. That certainly is one of the functions/of art. Because any university worth its salt is a patron of the arts,/the sculpture is a welcome addition to our campus. We are/grateful to Cynthia Bingham '83, Michael Hertrich '82 and Suzanne/Pequignot '84 for their art and for being excellent examples too."/John E.
