The sculpture consists of two identical pieces in a vertical format. Each sculpture features a large circular black element at the top with a cream-colored cross centrally positioned within, surrounded by small curved beige accents. Below this is a smaller circular piece in shades of beige and brown, with a central dark ring. The main body of each sculpture resembles a teardrop shape covered in a soft, beige material, featuring a small black cross near its top and adorned with decorative elements including a flower-like motif and tassels. The bottom edge of the main section is finished with a curtain of black fringe. The choice of materials includes fabric and possibly fur, with a neutral color palette of black, cream, and beige hues. Displayed on a white background, the sculptures stand out vividly, their symmetrical and handcrafted aesthetic captivating the viewer’s attention.
