In the foreground are a series of connected grey metal box-like forms, some with a combination of solid, mesh, and empty sides, all about at a height where they could be used as benches. In the back on the left and right are two much larger box-like forms that could be used as shelters. The picture is taken at a 45 degree angle across the piece. Also visible in the picture are a corner of sidewalk in the lower left, the dark surface the piece is sitting on, dead leaves, some of which are inside one of the boxes, and in the background bushes, trees, sky, and parts of several buildings.

A flock of individual life-sized black, white, and grey dove sculptures attached to a red brick wall. The doves are flying right to left (East to West) and North around the corner of the building. There are about 5 birds heading North in the lead, about another 20 approaching the corner, and then 4 more strung out behind, the last at the Southeast corner and above the rest. Above the largest mass of birds there is a carved out Lutheran cross symbol set into the wall. Along the right edge of the picture is a grey sky and the top of a bare tree.
