Kiss Before Parting is inspired by the perpetual movement of the ocean and embodies the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tides. As the waves briefly come together, there is a moment of connection and tenderness – a kiss shared between the waves as they pass by one another. This beautiful and fleeting encounter is translated into the artistic form of the sculptures. Kiss Before Parting captures the essence of this natural phenomenon. The sculpture invites us to contemplate the harmony and transience of the ocean’s embrace and serves as a visual reminder of the ever-changing nature of our surroundings and the beauty found in the simplest moments.
