The artist team created four series of silhouetted, powder coated, stainless steel figures. The figures are installed on the retaining walls of the concrete overpass structure. The artists also created a relief patterns on the concrete walls. In each series, the figure is repeated four or five times in different postures. The simple sequences depict figures jumping, creating the appearance of stop-action motion across the walls.​
