3D Environment Description:

A field of water in a cool, pale grey mist. In the centre stand four horns, each curving to a taper at both ends, which tower over the viewer. Blueish-white drops of transparent liquid bead the horns along their length. Interlacing their tips is tangling wreath of black, wire-like material. Halfway up the structure, ribbed chrome tubing cinches the horns inwards, creating an hourglass form.

Arrayed in a wide circle around the central structure float broken oval shells of concrete and wire netting. Their interiors are patterned with streaks and whorls blood-red crimson and dull bone-white. Around and transpiercing each shell are rusted lengths of deformed and curling rebar. Clinging to each shell are masses of coal-black and pale orange matter.
