Yesterday I was spending a little time with my friend Marilyn Stokstad (not really the person, just the book) and I stumbled upon this work by Camille Claudel. I had forgotten about this sculpture and how much I really enjoy it. After reading a couple paragraphs about this piece, I found that Claudel wanted to show the spiritual unity of the couple, not just the physical. As you can see, the couple's gaze is away from each other but they are still quite united in their embrace. What do you think?
