Two vertical female figures are interlocked, their legs intertwined in the form of a manacle. The acrobatic posture is elevated to a metaphor of womanhood as living entity, forging an eternal chain of being. The tactile, curves flowing upwards towards the featureless face of the female figure above exude an feeling of organic growth and at the same time a sense of spiritual infinity.
