The statue was commissioned in 1971 by the Works of Art Committee, the second commission of the committee, after A Sculptural Environment. It was created by artist Theodore Harlander and was a pair of concrete figures with their arms outstretched. The piece cost the university between $2,300 and $2,500. .

Destruction
In 2004, the sculpture was damaged beyond repair when a delivery truck backed into it. Only the pedestal on which it used to stand remains, and can be seen outside of South Campus Hall.
