The cast and welded bronze sculpture measures approximately 12 feet (3.7 m) x 7 feet (2.1 m) x 7 feet (2.1 m), marking Morris' largest sculpture up to the time it was completed. The Smithsonian Institution categorizes the work as abstract, allegorical (wind) and architectural (gate). It has been described as "three knife-sail forms that slash through space, radiating out from a central void at roughly equal distances from each other."
