The statue Encounter was created from 2 pieces of a large (40 kg) heavy piece of Opal stone.
These pieces had been sawed off to allow further processing of the shape of that statue.
Remaining pieces have been stored against each other for a while.
At the end of 2021 I picked them up again to do something with them.
That's how the idea arose to have them face each other.
To make the space between the 2 pieces visible and tangible.
Being able to see each other from a distance became a theme.
Being able to meet was an increasingly strong need in Covid.
By placing them so apart, the 2 silhouettes can MEET each other.
