The work stands on the outdoor site of the Musée de Lachine. It is formed by a group of six quadrangular beams resting on three points of support on the ground. Some of the beams are perpendicular to each other, whereas others are parallel. They form what resembles a twisted capital H. The sculpture is made of brown-painted steel.

In 1982, when he was presenting the exhibition Trajectoires et tensions, Millette was interested, among other things, in maximum occupation of a space with a minimum of materials. Despite the artwork’s immobility, the orientation of its components creates an internal rhythm and a strong impression of rising movement. The organization of the beams suggests that it results from a series of inflexions, twists, and bends.

Later, Millette said about his works, “I want to leave the impression that a conversation is engaged in the heart of the material, but also between the material and the site where it is installed.” The bulging ends of the beams breathe an apparent suppleness into the lines, placing them at the intersection of geometric and organic forms.

The work was initially part of a grouping of sculptures in the artist’s solo exhibition Trajectoires et tensions in 1982. In the mid-1980s, the artwork was presented outside the Centre d’exposition de Saint-Hyacinthe; from 1987 to 1998, it stood in front of a private residence in the Ville de Saint-Hyacinthe. It was donated to the Ville de Lachine in 1998.
