Common apple wood, copper, and cement materials were used for this piece, to represent nature in its raw form. That nature, is our own biological imperative that writhes against the restraints, that society and the definitions we hold about ourselves impose upon us.

The piece illustrates the inhibitions we have, and promises to somehow break free of them.
