This striking five-story painted wood and metal wall relief is populated with iconic objects that, according to Cumming, represent "the basic building blocks of all things, strewn about at random. These objects are the fundamental roots of various disciplines...chemistry, physics, astronomy, mathematics, literature, painting, etc., [representing] the fragmented, atomic level of nature before organization into higher, more complex systems."
