The sculpture is a life-sized steel representation of a tree without any leaves. Naturally, birds such as crows can be seen occasionally resting on the branches.[3] It was built in a way that the two main branches diverge in direction, making it look more natural. It is approximately 15.24 m (50 ft) tall.[4]
