A large spiral-shaped art installation made of reddish-brown, clay-like material stands in a modern gallery space. The cylindrical structure coils inward, forming a walkable path lined with small cubbyholes embedded in its textured walls. Each cubby contains colorful miniature objects or figurines, creating a vibrant contrast against the earthy tones. Two visitors stroll nearby, highlighting the scale and inviting nature of the immersive sculpture.
