The creative team researched and built many motifs of the acrobats before the final design was executed. The sculpture is over four meters high giving the feeling of suspense. The poles and the figures are abstract in nature but contemporary with metallic color. These acrobats were the main attraction during the inaugural celebration of the Tang as the sculpture is for the entrance of it.
