A long metal wire grate leans against a tall leaning wire edifice that encloses toy helicopters, hubcaps, a rubber chicken, several balls, a baby doll, flip flops, and many pieces of wood, and inside of which grows a shrub. On the wire grate is fastened four license plates to make a column (two from Louisiana, one from Mississippi, and one from Florida) along with a large metal sign that reads "OUT" upon which is painted "LEVEL [levee sic] GAVE 2005 / ARMY CORPS OF ENGiNEER / 9TH WARD / NEW ORLEANS / WHY?." In the front of the sculpture on the ground is a broken pink tricycle.
