Está emplazada en una propiedad privada situada al sur de la punta Pirulil, lugar que sirve de paso al otro mundo para las almas de los muertos según las versiones modernas de la leyenda chilota de las ánimas de Cucao.2​

Descripción
La escultura se sitúa en la costa occidental de la Isla Grande de Chiloé en punta Pirulil, en el extremo sur de la bahía de Cucao, a 10,4 kilómetros al sur de la aldea del mismo nombre y cerca de la localidad de Rahue. Fue elaborada por Orellana como proyecto de tesis y financiada gracias a un Fondart. El proyecto también contó con el apoyo de la Municipalidad de Chonchi y el parque nacional Chiloé, ubicado en las inmediaciones de la obra.1​

Elaborado con maderas naturales, el muelle está inspirado en la mitología chilota de las ánimas de Cucao, almas de personas fallecidas que llegan hasta Pirulil para, con desesperación y congoja, solicitar al balsero Tempilcahue, que las lleve a un lugar de descanso. La escultura está proyectada en forma ascendente, «invocando al más allá».
