Rosen said the sculpture 'was conceived as complete in an instant – the element of wholeness of image and inner vision is contained in its simple line and curves. The two heads relate above and fuse below in a manner expressive of human loving, both in its earliest mother/child relationship and in adult sexual congress'.
