The sculpture itself is composed by
1. 6 huge hollow maplewood ellipse in vertical balance: 4 to 5 meters high and 7 meters width
2. 6 iron polished and rounded plates for light reflection and ellipses' base: 8 meters long and 2 meters large
3. 322 forty meters long strings maintained by
4. 4 iron tail-pieces fixed on the ground.

The felling of that sculpture is the massive impression of those 6 huge ellipses aligned and maintained by a roof of 322 strings.
The fragility of thin strings compare to the massive impression of the 6 ellipses in simulated equilibrium generate an incredible feeling of magical.

The shape of these ellipse has a particularity to be twisted like the Moebius Tape,
for the ellipse based surface to be flatted on the cylindrical inside habitation shape.
