We bare witness in one of the most sacred moments of courtship, the moment before the first kiss. The two figures interlocked in an embrace are defined by their most essential characteristics of their sex, the gentle curve of the breast for the woman and a sturdier body for the man, thus becoming archetypes of the Male and the Female. Despite its abstract form, the artwork is imbued with sentiment and draws inspiration from the Protocycladic figurines, breathing life into them and transforming them.
