Consisting of a single sculpture, the exhibition is occupied by a 1:1 scale human figure in black walnut, carved by the artist, leaning into a stainless steel pole. 

The sculpture follows from the exquisite sacred tradition and portrays a complex dynamic between inner experience and infrastructure. Lichty describes the making of this sculpture, for which he used himself as a reference, as a rite of passage. 

The work is titled Leaning Figure.
