The work consists of 857 white sandstone building blocks and a framed freehand construction drawing.

The blocks have been cut and sanded into 14 different basic shapes, based on wooden toy blocks. Following the construction drawing on black paper, the blocks are built into a construction.

The blocks are stacked on top of each other in a specific order. They are not fixed in any way.
