The sculptures are made of mosaic tiles, each with a different shape and color. The sculpture at the far left is round and green with brown stripes. The second sculpture is a brown and orange pinecone shape. The third sculpture is green and looks like a long, pointed seed pod. The fourth sculpture is a green teardrop shape. The sculptures are all attached to rust-colored metal poles. In the background, there are buildings, trees, and traffic. The sky is blue with a few white clouds.
