​​


The work is fabricated in aluminum and self-sealing Corten steel, and features silhouettes of hands traced by community residents. To create her design, Arizona artist Ann Morton worked with residents to collect more than 1,300 handprints. The tracings were converted into digitized images and sorted by size to create templates used to fabricate the artwork in steel. The clusters of hands spiral approximately 11 feet up the poles, from 11 feet to 22 feet. ​
