The bodies of the three figures pierce round holes, which should mean that a person consists of molecules . According to the artist, this should remind that "both man and molecule exist in the world of probabilities, and the goal of all creative and spiritual traditions is to search for integrity and unity in the world."
The sculpture is visible from the Oberbaumbrücke bridge. The sponsor was Allianz SE, whose headquarters are located in the nearby Treptowers .
