On the campus of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center is the Robert M. Bird Health Sci. Library. On the north side of the library is a covered courtyard with landscaping, a fountain, and this sculpture on the east side. The foundation appears to be granite (a 3' tall podium, with a flat, approximately 4' wide slab laying on top. The slab is the base of the sculpture which consists of two human arms. The left arm is draped in a relaxing position, hands down towards the viewer. The right arm gently grasps the left arm about mid-way, fingers slightly wrapped around the arm.
At the bottom right of the sculpture is the following text:
