Eight separate drums comprise the main body of the sculpture. Each of these has a double layer of stainless-steel skin. The inner layer is highly polished and therefore reflects glimpses of its busy surroundings. The outer, brushed layer on top is detailed with an intricate fret-cut pattern. These patterns allow the integrated LED flood lighting to softly bleed indirectly through the sculpture. Every viewpoint along Brick Lane grants views of the sculpture. At the top of the eight drums, a single mast with a bespoke crescent-shaped luminaire forms a beacon that is visible from afar within the community.
