Embrace is a kinetic sculpture. It's made completely from recycled metal. "Kinetic" means energy in motion. The top part of the sculpture balances on a single pinhead made from a nail resting on the bottom half of the piece. The two halves are only connected by gravity. There is less than 1/64th of an inch joining the two halves allowing almost zero friction between the pieces. The top piece has a lot of levered mass enabling it to spin for a long time.
