Mixed Media sculpture contains a wooden cut-out of a smiling male figure posed as if walking toward the viewer. The figure is dressed in a multi-colored button-down long-sleeved shirt, belted brown pants, and blue shoes. A flattened clear cube surrounds the figure's head with multiple objects enclosed within, such as playing cards, a dollar bill, plant fiber, etc. The figure is attached to a branch with a carved point that is centered over a clear acrylic disc with wire supports. An additional branch juts out at a downward angle away from the sculpture. Hanging from the end of the branch is a clear acrylic square with a green grid design laid into its surface. Multiple objects attached to wire project outward from the center of the sculpture to surround the male figure, such as a globe, flat geometric shapes, a fork attached to multi-colored discs, and a crane supporting a plumb bob tied to a string.
