The artwork features a simple, minimalist composition with a dominant white sculptural piece placed on a rectangular plinth against a plain, beige background. The sculpture has a smooth, organic form that appears to be composed of a single, flowing curve.

The artwork's restrained palette and geometric elements evoke a sense of understated elegance and timelessness, reflecting the artist's likely intention to create a visually striking yet contemplative piece that invites the viewer to engage with the work's conceptual and aesthetic qualities. ...
Kilian Rüthemann frequently employs edible materials such as sugar, salt, and common construction elements, including cement, plaster, concrete, iron, and asphalt in his sculptures. Rüthemann's work resonates with tenets of Minimalism, procedural artistry, wit, strategic interventions, and creative repurposing. Interpretations of his work often allude to the artistic paradigms and stances prevalent in the late 1960s and 1970s, now associated with Postminimalist ideas.
