The first sculpture presents a passionate drama of human relationships—figures merge in a struggle of desire and resistance, their bodies entwined in a unified vortex. It embodies a tension between strength and vulnerability, longing and defiance, love and conflict. They are inseparable, bound together by both attachment and discord, unaware of how fragile their unity truly is.
In contrast, the second sculpture portrays the aftermath of this union’s collapse—once intense and inseparable, the relationship has disintegrated into chaos. The figures are fragmented, severed from their shared reality. They attempt to remain on scorched ground, yet it can no longer support them. Their struggle was so fierce that everything beneath them has crumbled.
Together, these sculptures form an allegory of relationships—initially filled with energy, intimacy, and tension, yet, when passion turns destructive, all that remains is ruin.
