The sculpture features the embossed outline of a human figure. The figure is in an erect posture with one arm outstretched to the side while standing on one leg. The figure has no detailed features visible, just smooth contours suggesting a body form. The sculpture is rendered entirely in beige and is made from a material that is flat but raised in areas to create a relief effect. The form is subtle and merges slightly into the background, suggesting integration into a flat plane, akin to a bas-relief. This arrangement makes the figure seem like it is emerging from the surface, giving it a gentle, understated presence. The material used might be some form of paper or light-textured material, given the flat nature of the image and the delicate, soft hue.
