As I started to work on my series Two Figures, I was thinking about the sexual act between two people, as an ultimate contact, you can’t get any closer to another human being without violating their physical integrity. Nature provides “screws and bolts”, so the bodies sink perfectly into one another just like two pieces of Lego. My intent is to pay homage to Brancusi’s famous The Kiss, by taking it a step further and stripping it down to its absolute essence in order to present the bare mechanics of intimacy.
