The sculpture consists of a cylinder of water green cast glass. Both external and internal surfaces have been frosted with acid, creating a contrast with the semi-polished sides of the cylinder. Small air bubbles have been imprisoned in the glass during the process, bringing apparent lightness to the otherwise heavy work. The glass comes from the Czech Republic and its transformation requires a time-consuming process that allows the glass to cool down very slowly.
