It depicts the face of a woman her eyes are closed and her chin is longing for a loving caress. Her elongated neck leads to her lips and cheeks in anticipation of an awakening. Like a wild bouquet, flowers bloom all over her head and neck depicting joy and a renewal. Symbolically this sculpture represents the miracle of transformation. In her endless wisdom, Nature shows us that all things change, and seasons are an example of this undeniable rule of life.
