The artwork represents a moment of contemplation, capturing a male figure in a relaxed yet thoughtful pose. The male figure leans into his own thoughts, his posture relaxed but inward-looking.

Full-size sculpture in water-based clay
finished in plaster
The artwork represents a female figure standing withdrawn, her gaze turned inward and away. Her hand pointing, as if marking herself. A subtle, ambiguous gesture that suggests vulnerability.

“The Latin word finis has two meanings the end or the finish, and a goal to reach. A man who could not see the end of his “provisional existence” was not able to aim at an ultimate goal in life. He ceased living for the future, in contrast to a man in normal life. Therefore the whole structure of his inner life changed; signs of decay set in which we know from other areas of life.” (from Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl)
