    Abstract sculpture composed of a tall, square concrete pillar. The pillar is hollow with cut-out openings on all sides. In the front there is a large opening in the form of a cross. On each side, there are smaller cross-shaped openings. On the back are two dove-shaped openings. At the top of the pillar is a square, enclosed area. The outer front surface of this section has a relief of a heart with a cross. This motif is repeated on either side. The back side has a relief depicting two flying doves. At the top of this enclosed area is a lead and tinted glass pyramid. Inside this pyramid is a tile mosaic and mirror-lined cavity. A wooden carving resembling the shape of a human heart surrounded by a band of thorns lays in the cavity. Around the base of the sculpture are wooden stairs, to allow viewers to climb high enough to view into the top of the sculpture.
