Cast Bronze
46 × 200 78 cm
(The Lovers) The lovers as subject — Isis and Osiris, Orpheus and Eurydice, Romeo and Juliet — recur across every culture as the image of the force that makes two people into one inseparable unit, willing to follow each other even past the boundary of death. The two figures here, lying together in the gravel path of the garden as though the earth itself is their bed, make no grand gesture: their union is expressed simply through proximity and the easy interlock of bodies that have learned the shape of each other.
