The object's outer ring is thrice layered in laser-cut frosted acrylic material with custom engravings, water jet cut mild steel, and porcelain, The inner ring is metal and both are furnished with latex sheets and additional decorative elements. At the center is a quartz crystal, emitting crystalline, viridescent light from its center thanks to two contiguous laser beams pointing at the stone.
The beams are scattered through the stone generating a noise-like texture, producing an optical illusion where the sense of depth of the crystal vanishes and collapses into two dimensions while its structure becomes a weightless cluster of particles as the viewer loses its sense of density.
