Concrete sculpture pays tribute to Cajun culture. The sculpture consists of two separate elements, a pedestal topped by a pair of undulating columns and two large undulating walls. An alligator, whose skin texture appears arbitrarily on the columns and pedestal, appears to be breaking through the surface. The artist, T. Paul Hernandez, describes the alligator as a symbol of natural elements in the universe. By coexisting in the sculpture, the alligator becomes the equivalent of man, reminding the viewer that one is no more important than the other.
