Peters’s sculpture consists of more than 40 kite-like forms suspended from the ceiling in the central reception area of the library.  The pieces are made from a lightweight, durable window screen fabric.  The forms are positioned in the space so that light from the building's large north windows illuminates the fabric and its varied colors.  ​
