The title of the work is "Steps". The artist is Donald Lipski. Black rectangular blocks stacked on top of each other in a staggered formation. The largest block is at the bottom, the middle-sized block in the middle, and the smallest block at the top. The blocks are placed on a white surface and have a plain white wall behind them. The blocks appear to be made of a dark material, possibly wood or stone, and have a rough texture. The blocks are oriented horizontally, with their long sides facing the viewer.
