Rising up from the pavement is a shining double S-shaped form resembling a large wave, with a blue semi-transparent female figure diving downwards from it. On the faces of 'The Wave' are cut-out shapes in irregular groups that are illuminated green and red at night. The Wave is surrounded by an irregular circle of nine blue resin boulders that act as seats.
