Description:
Abstract installation of a grouping of four columns and an arrow shaft embedded in rock, all made of stainless steel. The round columns have square bases and square caps and appear as if constructed of segmented pieces. These segments are all slightly out of alignment, and one of the columns looks like it has toppled - its segments are lying side-by-side on the ground. Another column has "lost" its square cap, which lies beside it at an angle. The steel arrow shaft, embedded in a rock, sits in a concrete fountain basin.
