From opposite ends of the spectrum the two figures are bound together by their differences and achieve a harmony and balance together that would not be possible independently. The male figure is a concentrated study of strength and latent power, with his torso as the nexus of energy in the piece. The flowing and soft form of the female figure is a counterpoint to the tension in the male form, and the two are entwined in a way that calls to mind the links of a chain: two entities becoming one in balance and harmony.
