American artist Jonathan Borofsky has worked since the 1970s with mysterious, spontaneously generated, simply described imagery. Often this imagery is drawn from Borofsky's dreams. His public works play with scale and simplicity to impact the passerby by surprise, and often pose philosophical and even moral questions through symbols. This work, depicting the meeting of two human figures, places equal stress on the meeting and on the fragility of the porous figures - or are the holes (or "molecules") really exposed components of our individual and social strength?
