STONE FIGURES HIM AND HER

A male figure leaning against a female figure; the female figure is holding and absorbing all her hidden pain in the chest.   THE DANCE: The taller female figure leans into the male, hoping for support. Instead, she becomes a vessel for the pain in the marriage, family, and life. v/s what is left behind when the relationship is over.   The stone’s origins actually lie in marine organisms that leave behind their calcite-rich shells when they die. As water bodies evaporate, these deposited remains form limestone. After a relationship ends, what is left? Where do you hold your pain?   Created in 2009. Dimensions: 34"h X 12"w X 10"d.
