The work imaginatively depicts orbits around a central (celestial) object. Delicate metal rods, curved to create circles of different diameters are held by fine thread in tensegrity, that is, similar to a mobile, their respective weight holds the elements in balance. The open circles and ellipses are nestled around a central polygon knit from fine black thread.
