About this artwork
This bog oak sculpture captures the tango as a dance of life: Two figures, carved from a single oak tree, merge in a dynamic embrace. The curved lines of the oak wood flow along their arched backs and merge at their hands and hips, as if they were becoming one in the rhythm of the music.
The natural structure of the bog oak wood—sometimes smoothly sanded, sometimes deeply cracked—underscores the passion and intensity of the dance: Where the grain… is tightly interwoven, it creates the impression of pulsating energy; where it expands, space opens up for silence and nuances. The work tells of encounter and harmony: two individuals find a new form of togetherness in their shared stride.
