This abstract art piece has a certain industrial feel to it. It seems to me to somewhat resemble an extruder with a couple of teeth missing. It has a tubular cross beam with dual beam posts. Atop the crossbeam are a variety of swooping shapes projecting in different directions, however, all of them are in the upward position. The arch is painted a nice brownish red color. With the pillars painted off-white. It extends over the crosswalk in the median of 100 South.
