Her body seems to take the shape of an infinity symbol, expressing dance and movement through her abstract figure. The circles created by her arms and lower body are symbolic of the nurturing and creative power of the feminine.

Simple in design but elegant. This piece could translate into a variety of aesthetics, whether modern and contemporary or more traditional spaces. This sculpture would accentuate its surroundings adding a sense of intrigue and interest.
