Summary:
Abstract sculpture of six silhouetted figures, male and female, leaping through the air. The figures are framed by a circle enclosed in a square. Slender vertical bars separate the figures. The figures hold various musical instruments in their outstretched arms including a guitar, bagpipes, trumpet, french horn, violin and saxophone. Other symbols also appear including artist's tools and brushes and a computer. An eagle with outstretched wings surmounts the figures. The frame through which the figures leap rests on a solid semicircle. The steel sculpture is painted red and stands on an oblong concrete base.
