This impressive work celebrates human connection through the radical reduction to black and white. The style is unmistakably inspired by the woodcut expressionism of the early 20th century, by artists such as Ernst Barlach and Käthe Kollwitz, while at the same time possessing the graphic elegance of the Art Deco era. The clear lines and the contrasting, closed forms create a sculptural impression and focus all the emotional energy on the central embrace. The composition radiates a deep melancholy and timeless calm.
