Medium: Marble

Two elongated figures are joined within a slender vertical composition defined by balance and upward movement. The bodies curve around one another through a series of uninterrupted lines that guide the eye from the base toward the uppermost forms. Marble surfaces are polished to emphasize the clarity of the contours and the refinement of the carving. Negative space between the figures contributes to the sculpture’s overall rhythm.
