This steel abstract sculpture is located at the entrance of the Hicks Park Recreation Center in Tulsa. There are two components to this piece: one piece is a curvy piece of nine seats that looks like a caterpillar. The second component is the main structure. It looks like a butterfly, with outspread wings with a bar connecting the two. The wings each have a large cut-out in them. The long legs of the insect are the supports that anchor the sculpture to the ground. One wing is higher up than the other, and the head of the insect does have antennae.
